Release, Inc.

Release, Inc. Safe. Together. Healthy. Free. Release began in 1994 with two guys, a Bible, and a boom box. We serve over 350 kids per week through our various programs.

They used Christian rap music and God’s word to reach the youth at the Douglas County Youth Center. Early on the ministry became aware of the need for mentoring, Bible studies and aftercare that would go beyond the walls of the DCYC. Mentoring was formally added in 2001, and the overall ministry continued to grow every year. Release engages with at-risk youth and their families throughout Douglas

and Sarpy counties. MENTORING Release engages youth through professional chaplaincy and various volunteer mentoring opportunities in the community. FOSTER CARE Release provides initial training and ongoing support to foster families to provide temporary, loving homes when children cannot remain in their family homes. COMMUNITY-BASED INITIATIVES Release goes into the homes of families to help keep them together, or reunite them when they have been separated. MENTAL HEALTH Release provides therapy services to individuals and families in the community.

500 Bags!🧳 500 Bears!🧸 500 Bibles!📖

A heartfelt THANK YOU to Focus on the Family for this incredible donation to our Care Closet!🫶

Many children enter foster care with their belongings in trash bags. This gift changes that. Now, 500 children will receive a duffel bag of their own, along with a teddy bear and Bible for comfort during a difficult transition.

We are beyond grateful for this partnership and the dignity it provides to the kids we serve. 🙌

Our mentor matches came and served in our Care Closet for their quarterly group activity! They worked as a team organizing the shelves, sorting toys, and restocking the store! 💪

We currently have youth on our waitlist, who are eager to be matched. We are always looking for Christian men & women who are willing to be a light to a youth and become a mentor. Just a few hours a month can change a person life!! 🫶

If interested in becoming a mentor, contact Anthony at anthony@releaseinc.org
