Mentoring Children of Prisoners (MCP)

As many as two million young people in the United States have at least one parent behind bars. Mentoring Children of Prisoners programs provide these often displaced and traumatized young people with opportunities to develop a trusting relationship with a supportive, caring adult and a stable environment that can promote healthy values and strong families.
