Genesis One Network
Description
Genesis One Network (G1) is a faith based organization that helps justice involved individuals successfully maintain a healthy, productive, and spiritually rewarding life upon reentry into society. G1 works with the Oklahoma Department of Corrections to break the destructive cycle of recidivism. Upon release, Genesis connects the released member with a network of available aftercare service providers in designated cities. They address basic needs such as food, clothing, and shelter; vocational needs like job training, temporary employment, and employer contacts; educational needs (academic and vocational) and life/spiritual needs such as therapeutic, support groups, and churches. Additionally, Genesis One prepares a pre-release strategy with participating facilities throughout the state. Programs at these facilities include educational opportunities in literacy, adult basic education, GED, and vocational instruction. These facilities also offer anger management, thinking for a change, drug and alcohol recovery support groups along with existing volunteer ministries that support several faith-based classes.
