“Now Is The Time” is a nonprofit organization which helps returning citizens (ex-offenders) transition back into society. Our mission statement
Now Is The Time will serve returning citizens by providing group counseling, job readiness, and job placement services in order to facilitate a smooth transition toward self sufficiency. Our Vision Statement
Seeing that each participant receives resources
that are available to move forward into becoming a productive citizen, to better himself and his community. My Vision
I started this non-profit organization to honor my son and tell his story. Nine years ago, my son was incarcerated for five years and eventually was released, however there was no community outreach program for him to turn to and unfortunately was killed to the streets one year later. This made me realize that returning citizens need an outlet where they can receive all of the opportunities to help them adapt back into society. We have just started this organization and need assistance with building it up and truly making a difference in the community. If you would like to donate, we would be very appreciative. We would like to ask for donations to be anywhere from $10 to $20, but of course any contribution will greatly help out!
