Our Process — The Four E's
The heart of our process is rooted in our four E's.
1
Encourage
We initiate parent/child contact and encourage them to define roles and responsibilities.
2
Engage
We engage with the parent through activities that restore the family foundation.
3
Educate
We provide the child with mentors, career coaches, and financial support so that career roadmaps can be developed.
4
Empower
We equip the child with confidence, promote accountability, and empower them to maintain exceptional educational standards.
Our Programs
Our process comes to life through our programs.
Education & Career
Kids2Career Program
Kids2Career prepares Proverbs 22:6 children for secondary education. Depending on whether they want to pursue their passion in traditional or technical college, the program matches them accordingly with professional leadership. With the support of volunteer mentors, these kids can create a path of their own.
Without Kids2Career, 1 out of 4 kids were NOT completing high school. With this program, our kids have achieved a 100% graduation rate!
Prison Engagement
Forgive Me, Dear
Restoration is key for rebuilding the relationship between the child and their absent parent. In this event, children get to spend the day with their father or mother in the prison.
During this time, the parent symbolically washes the feet of their child, replaces their old shoes with new ones, and celebrates a new beginning.
Prison Engagement
Back to School
Before the children enter the new school year, the prison is turned into a "Proverbs226-Mart". The fathers and mothers pack book bags with school supplies and love letters, encouraging their children to start off on the right foot.
We would love your assistance in gathering and organizing school supplies!
Prison Engagement
Celebrate
At the end of the year (October – December), the parents get to speak life into their children. They spend the entire day together, bonding during a gift exchange and a special dance ceremony.
Holiday meals are donated to caregivers to enjoy at home, and scholarships are awarded to kids who participate in a talent show.

Over the years, we have made great strides in changing thousands of lives.
