Garage Program
The Garage program is practical and spiritual development program for socialization of released prisoners and after rehabilitation program. It could be used on other cases (orphan, severe trauma…)
The program is tightly connected to other socialization programs from the government and other NGO’s
The program is supposed to be the last step before entering independent life in society and being fully responsible as a community member
The program unites theoretical, spiritual and practical experience of PFN through many years leading prisoners back to society and helping them to establish better life for themselves and for their families
The aim of the program
The program is supporting multisided personal development that is
focused on socializing and ability to function fully without future and
further help in socializing after imprisonment or | and rehabilitation.It prepares an offender for the better life
with a partner, family and society.
Through the program we:
Teach the meaning of responsibility
Encourage motivation to take the effort
Teach skills and habits
Keep social support and influence of Christian lifestyle
Create new associates and friends for the released
Help to create new talents and teach to learn more
How does it work?
The program should be distinctly for aftercare, not rehabilitation or something else.
This means that:
The program preparation for all participants starts not less than 3-4 month before release
The person in program is aware and prepared The staff in program is trained and has contact to the arriving
person and all partners The program is measurable, evaluable, so are the participants
on both sides (the program and its effect gets evaluated each time as well)
The program is accepted by …… (nav? Social service?) The program is flexible, yet has certain criteria for being passed
or not being passed, to be repeated, for forwarding etc.
The setup of the program
All steps have been taken by the person HIMsel f (HERsel f ).
