Organization Details

Exodus Transitional Community, Inc. is a faith based non profit organization in East Harlem specializing in assisting formerly incarcerated individuals and their families by providing employment readiness workshops, resume preparation, basic computer literacy, mock interviews, educational workshops, anger and substance abuse workshops, spirituality workshops, health and fitness workshops, family and relationship workshops, and community involvement workshops. We make hosuing referrals and other supportive service referrals for participants and their families as well.

We also host the Exodus Lifecoaching Institute, a program where formerly incarcerated adults are adopted into either a community or one-to-one lifecoaching relationship. The Institute also hosts an MCP (Mentoring Children of Incarcerated Parents) Program, a White House Initiative to provide one-to-one mentoring for children who have an incarcerated parents).

ETC is supported by donations. We have a documentary airing on PBS on March 29 and host visitors from all over the world. We also provide internships for students enrolled in social work, criminal justice, law, accounting, management, and the like.

We partner with and have the endorsements of Prison Fellowship Ministries (AngelTree), Abyssinian Church, Church of God East Flatbush, Good Tidings Church, Christian Association of Youth Ministries, MENTOR.org and others listed on our website.

What makes ETC distinct from most other reentry organizations is that we were founded by and are staffed by formerly incarcerated individuals who have made successful transitions back into the community Collectively, there is over one hundred years of incarceration among the staff. Therefore, we believe that if anyone has a handle on this work, it is us.

We are looking for mentors for our MCP program to work with children between 6-18 and for lifecaoches to work with our adults. We are also looking for volunteers to assist with resume preparation, computer workshops, and administrative work.
