Mission Statement
Hour Children’s mission is to help incarcerated and formerly incarcerated women and their children successfully rejoin the community, reunify with their families, and build healthy, independent, and secure lives. Hour name acknowledges the key hours that impact the life of a child whose mother is incarcerated – the hour of her arrest, the hour of their visit, and the hour of their reunification. Hour Children’s supportive programs help justice-involved families remain connected during a mother’s imprisonment and build positive, hope-filled lives after her release. Unique among service providers, our approach is to provide women with the services they need to be successful – housing, childcare, job-skills training and education, and mental health services.
