Take a look at our collaborations and community mentions!

Northwest Health Foundation 

Red Lodge Transition Center was a Justice Reinvestment Equity Program recipient. NWHF highlighted that, “since founding Red Lodge Transition Services, Red Lodge volunteers continue to provide culturally specific programming behind the Iron Doors, as passionate volunteers for the Oregon Department of Corrections. Volunteers provide sweat lodge ceremonies, smudging, talking circles, first foods ceremonies, pow wows, Wellbriety, Positive Indian Parenting, and more to over 1,500 Adults in custody annually, which is about 8% of the Oregon prison population.” They also wrote that,  “Culturally specific programming is incredibly important. Interacting with people who have shared experiences and have successfully overcome similar obstacles makes a huge difference in creating trust and hope for a better future. When people in prison reconnect with their community and their community’s traditional practices, it increases the likelihood they’ll reenter society successfully and not repeat the same mistakes.” 

Thank you, JREP, for funding the important work we do!
