YWCA Gen-Risers participate in a garden work party at the YWCA Seattle I King I Snohomish Passage Point

We continue our series, "Not a Prisoner of the Past," with a Photo Friday post highlighting the gardening work party that took place at the YWCA Seattle I King I Snohomish Passage Point last weekend. This series explores the challenges that women face who attempt to rebuild their lives after incarceration and other life-changing circumstances. Passage Point is a supportive residential community for parents discharged from the corrections system who would otherwise be homeless and who seek to reunite with their minor children and families. YWCA Gen-Risers came out to support the program by pulling on gloves and getting dirty!

 

 

Passage Point: Giving Strength, Hope and a New Home to Families

We now start a series exploring the challenges facing women and families that are attempting to build their life again after being incarcerated. Stable housing is the most critical element for successful re-entry. Many of us would first think of employment as the foundation for rebuilding a life, but actually, stable housing and a safe home is an even bigger factor.

This is the first post in this series named "Not a Prisoner of the Past," and Andrea VanHorn shares about her work at the YWCA Seattle I King I Snohomish Passage Point, a supportive residential community for parents discharged from the corrections system who would otherwise be homeless and who seek to reunite with their minor children and families.
