Supporting New Beginnings
Our Mission at Grace Forward
"Grace is love that seeks you out, even if you have nothing to give in return. At Grace Forward Reentry, we live this mission in Marion County, Florida. We provide returning citizens with the mentorship, training, and resources they need to successfully rebuild their lives and strengthen our community.
Supporting Reentry
We offer a variety of programs and services designed to support successful reentry, including employment readiness training, life skills and cognitive-behavioral classes, mentorship, and accountability programs. Our goal is to equip participants with the practical tools, knowledge, and support they need to build stable, productive lives.
Because no single organization can meet every need, we work closely with community partners throughout Marion County to connect participants with mental health services, substance use treatment, educational opportunities, housing resources, transportation assistance, and employment services.
Our Progress
We believe successful reentry benefits everyone. When individuals have access to support, employment, education, and community connections, they are more likely to achieve lasting stability and less likely to return to the criminal justice system. Our mission is to help make that success possible, one person, one family, and one step forward at a time.
