Friends Outside
Friends Outside has provided support to the incarcerated, their family members, and those recently released for more than thirty years in Santa Cruz County. Our mission is to engage volunteers to restore justice, provide hope, and support change for those impacted by incarceration. We work closely with community partners to provide a continuum of services from custody to community re-entry. Our services are open to anyone who has been in jail or prison within the past 6 months from the date of intake, or has a referral from Probation.
PLEASE NOTE: We are currently providing teleservices and can help via the phone or email while our offices remain closed for in-person meetings until 6/29 due to COVID-19 health orders. Please reach out to us with questions at friendsoutside@scvolunteercenter.org
