They face a variety of barriers as they attempt to reenter their communities. Volunteers are needed for the Circles of Support whose mission is: "To restore citizenship to newly released offenders by linking them to services specific to their needs, encouraging positive relationships within the community, and promoting law-abiding behavior." Community volunteers help the parolee transition from "offender" to "citizen." The goals are to reduce recidivism and make our communities safer. http://www.oneoshkosh.org/events_archived.html#circles PFLAG (Parents, Families and Friends of Gays and Lesbians) of the Greater Oshkosh Area, Inc. has established itself as a local chapter of the national PFLAG organization.
