AIM (Aftercare for Indiana through Mentoring)

AIM is a diverse team of dedicated AmeriCorps members and adult volunteers. As mentors, we provide reentry support to incarcerated youths returning to communities throughout Indiana. We provide effective role models that target unique needs of these youths, inspiring purpose, motivation and direction for as long as the youths are receptive to our help. With a focus on life skills, we steer the youths toward success by engaging community resources and service providers. We inspire the youths to pursue successful and productive futures where they reach their potential, through self-development and the utilization of community resources.
