Reentry works best when women are surrounded by practical support and healthy community. Whether you represent an organization, want to give supplies, volunteer your time, or commit to praying with us, your involvement helps close the gaps in the first critical days after release and supports long-term stability.
Empower 180 partners with organizations and stakeholders who share a commitment to improving reentry outcomes for Native women. We welcome referral relationships, resource-sharing, and collaborative support that helps women access identification, housing, transportation, recovery supports, healthcare, community, and other essential services.
A simple way to make a direct impact is by providing the essentials women need in the first 48 hours after release. These items help women stabilize quickly and reduce the stress and barriers that can derail reentry in the earliest days.
Common needs include basics like weather-appropriate clothing, hygiene items, food support, phone minutes or a basic phone plan, transportation assistance, and other practical essentials.
Empower 180 is rooted in faith, and we believe prayer matters. You can stand with women reentering community by praying for protection, strength, healing, restored families, and open doors for housing, employment, and healthy support networks.
Most Empower 180 volunteer support is practical and relational. Volunteers primarily help by providing transportation to critical appointments during the first weeks after release, such as DMV, medical visits, treatment intake, job interviews, and other required check-ins. This support helps women stay compliant, reduce overwhelm, and keep moving forward.
