We are a faith-based organization that transforms the lives of incarcerated, formerly incarcerated, and their families by offering spiritual guidance and vocational training. Through programs like carpentry, welding, and electrical, we equip people with the skills they need to rebuild their lives, find stable employment, and become thriving members of their communities.

2nd Annual Golf Tournament

Join us on July 24, 2024, as we host our 2nd annual charity golf tournament at the picturesque Ravisloe Country Club in Homewood, IL. Tee off for a greater cause as we raise funds to benefit Chicagoland Prison Outreach and The Exodus Projects.

With an 8:00 am registration and a 9:00 am shotgun start, you'll enjoy a full morning of golfing, networking, and giving back to the community.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or a beginner, our tournament is open to golfers of all levels.
