M.A.P. - Mentorship, Aftercare, Presence

What is MAP ?

MAP (mentorship-aftercare-presence) is a non-profit aftercare ministry that provides a supportive presence for people leaving both the provincial and federal criminal justice system in the Ottawa area. MAP started in Ottawa, May 2000, by a drop-in director, a prison chaplain, a social service worker, and a former inmate who all had a common vision: to see those finishing their prison term take a new direction in their lives when they are released.

What part does MAP play in the community ?

Through providing hands-on support, encouragement and empowerment for those who are re-integrating into society, we are enabling people to redirect their lives and become productive, dynamic members of the community.

Since its beginning, MAP has supported over 225 people leaving the penal system, and today, MAP has over 40 volunteers, a Director, a Staff Person, a supportive board of directors, and a client-base of 24, and continues to grow and expand to serve those in need.

How MAP affects you…

We all know of someone who has been incarcerated at some point: maybe it was a friend's friend, someone in your neighborhood, or a loved one. Regardless, of the circumstances, we can all help in some way, whether it is volunteering, prayer, moral support, financial donations, or spreading the word about the impact MAP has on its clients. Most of all, MAP helps your communities as a whole by caring for the people that want to learn to care about their neighborhoods and communities again. And that affects us all.
