Since 1994, Release Ministries, has been reaching juvenile offenders in an effort to supplement the emotional and physical care they receive in institutions with a spiritual examination of life‚  problems and difficulties. Each week, our chaplains and 40 trained volunteers visit seven to ten different institutions, and meet with over 350 youth ages 10 to 18. We discuss topics ranging from the dangers of drugs and alcohol to leading an honest, productive life, emphasizing that youth look at their lives, see the need for change, and begin that change while they are incarcerated. These issues are presented in light of the Gospel and emphasize their need to rely on Jesus for healing and for life-change.Release Ministries serves in ten youth facilities/communities across the Metro area:
Cooper Village / Uta Halee
Douglas County Youth Center
Harvest Haven
Heartland Family Service
Journeys
Pottawattamie Youth Center
Sarpy County Youth Center
Youth Emergency Services (YES) House
