New Leaf recognizes that successful re-entry is a complex journey requiring consistent personal guidance, which is why we offer robust Coaching and Mentorship programs. This support system connects returning citizens with experienced faith-based mentors and leaders who walk alongside them, providing personalized direction and accountability long after their release.

The core of this program is providing access to faith-based mentors. These individuals are carefully selected for their commitment to God’s truth, their life experience, and their ability to relate with empathy and wisdom. The mentors serve as trusted role models, offering practical advice on navigating life’s challenges while maintaining a focus on spiritual principles. This one-on-one relationship provides the steady, positive influence often missing during and immediately following incarceration.

Mentors and leaders specifically focus on guiding participants in spiritual leadership and personal growth. Guidance in spiritual leadership involves helping the returning citizen understand their God-given identity and purpose, empowering them to become positive, principled influences in their own families and communities. Personal growth coaching covers a range of topics, including improving decision-making, developing healthy relationships, setting achievable goals, and building self-worth.
