Girl Scouts of Oregon and Southwest Washington’s Girl Scouts Beyond Bars (GSBB) program uses Girl Scout experiences to strengthen the bond between girls and their mothers, grandmothers, aunts or sisters during the adult’s incarceration at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility (CCCF) located in Wilsonville, Oregon.
Girls in GSBB earn badges, sell cookies, and go to overnight camp. In addition to enjoying the Girl Scout troop experience, girls also have a safe space to talk about their situation with other girls in similar circumstances.
Participating adults serve as troop leaders, and benefit from the program as well. With the support of GSBB staff, troop leaders co-facilitate troop meetings together with their Girl Scouts at the correctional facility. Alongside their girls, troop leaders develop positive decision-making and leadership skills, while also learning how to let the girls lead.
Youth are encouraged to continue participating in the program even after their loved one is released. Additionally, GSBB welcomes any girl who has a justice-impacted loved
one (whether or not they have a connection to Coffee Creek) to join their girl-only troop meetings in the community.

Going Home II - Reentry Support Services +
Going Home II works primarily with gang members looking to extract themselves from gang activity. Their target population is people of color. Staff members lead meetings in the prisons and help people transition from prison into clean and sober housing upon release that Going Home II maintains, both for men and women. Going Home II believes the only successful approach to reintegration is holistic, and they are committed to providing material and professional resources, as well as socio-emotional support.
Before release from custody, Going Home II helps individuals gain skills that improve their decision making, planning, and job or career prospects. After release they provide safe housing and personal and professional support, as needed. Going Home II partners with Columbia River Correctional Institution (CRCI) on several community-based events held at their facility to create a bridge between adults in custody and the community they will return to. Going Home II goes into CRCI twice a week, once to host group mentoring sessions and once to host behavioral therapy classes.
Going Home II’s '''Transition and Reentry programs''' work with incarcerated and recently released individuals to support their transition back into the community. They provide behavioral therapy courses, mentorship once released, transitional housing, and re-entry planning. Peer supports assist clients with employment, housing, obtaining IDs, HOP passes, Social Security, and cell phones (with two months of free calls). They maintain a clothing closet with job-search appropriate clothing and they have bikes people can use if there is no public transportation to their job. A men’s group is held on Saturday mornings.
Their '''Behavioral Health and Social Wellness''' programs are delivered through a culturally specific lens to support those in the Black community suffering from addictions. Their services are free of charge and can be accessed by anyone in need. The services they provide include peer support services, housing support, employment support, and transitional housing for both men and women.
Going Home II’s '''Violence Prevention and Community Safety programs''' provide interventions with the goal of making the community safer and providing a new path for individuals that are at high risk of committing violence through behavioral therapy courses, intensive case management for those at high risk of committing gun violence or becoming a victim of gun violence, through street level outreach workers that work to deter potential gun violence as well as retaliations, funerals and relocation assistance, transitional housing for both men and women, assistance to incarcerated individuals with re-entry supports, and support for victims of gun violence. To obtain services or for more information call Going Home II or email ''shlomax@goinghome2.org''
Going Home II also provides opportunities for individuals they serve and their families to engage in prosocial activities, like family weekend camps and community meals, and they provide assistance in navigating systems and locating needed supports.
