Mentoring Youth Experiencing Incarceration
“A righteous man falls down seven times and gets up.”
Proverbs 24:16
WHY?
The youth in major cities around the world and the US are facing many detrimental challenges that are negatively impacting our children and communities at alarming rates.
OUR GOAL
As a 501(c)(3) we strive to decrease the amount of children that matriculate into the prison system from juvenile facilities. We aim to liberate youth from poor ethics, depression, and lack of identity through education on Christian principles founded on a relationship with Christ. Ensuring each child is holistically healthy is our ultimate destination.
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Galatians 5:14
Our Focus as a 501 C (3)
Physical Enrichment
We develop young men through exercise and fellowship providing them with a safe space to develop their bodies, develop their talents, and cultivate a relationship with Christ within the walls of juvenile facilities while also providing a safe haven away from street-life or other dangerous environments upon return to the world.
Support for Communities
When young men are fully-seen, fully-heard, and fully-loved they are significantly more likely to be successful leaders and contributors of society and avoid countless hardships that many youth face who are not as fortunate often experience.
“When someone falls they fall on us. If we fall, we fall on Jesus. Therefore, we will always be upheld by a firm foundation and strength to carry the world forward when others feel they can no longer toil.”
— Garrett Johnson
Founder
It all began with a word from God…
“Go where people don’t want to go. Shine light in the darkness. Search in alleyways for the lost. Children in juvenile facilities are the future of the world and we must tend to the future intentionally, dilligently, and most importantly with love. Love and kindess are crucial catalysts for change. Unchained will always serve as a beacon of love and a vehicle for kindness in every community and nation around the world by God’s grace.”
