    logo_MATForceVerde Valley AZ (March 26, 2013) – Are you interested in serving as a volunteer guide or mentor for youth or adults in recovery or for those reentering the community after serving in prison?

    If so, MATFORCE is offering a free training that will teach you the skills to work one-on-one, helping these individuals. No experience, prior qualifications or education is needed. All that is needed is the desire to help.

    Once trained, coaches have two options: they may choose to mentor those going through the recovery process or they may choose to serve as a guide for individuals returning to our community from prison.

    Yavapai Reentry Project Coordinator Becca Fealk says, “Support such as this is so important to those just out of prison. Coaches play a vital role in building confidence and success. The success is proven, as we see a 40% reduction in recidivism for people exiting prison, meaning they do not return to crime and instead become a productive member in our community.”

    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
