MAIC at the Correctional Peace Officers Conference

 Today the MAIC staff and volunteers had the opportunity to perform the Reentry Simulation for a group of law enforcement officers from north Alabama at the Correctional Peace Officers Foundation Conference at the Orange Beach Event Center.

This exercise simulates the struggles and challenges faced by individuals who are transitioning from incarceration back into society.  Many of the officers felt and demonstrated the frustrations our neighbors feel when trying to get their basic needs and life responsibilities taken care of. If you are interested in bringing the Reentry Simulation to your church or event call us today 251-308-8725.

Fourth Annual Governor’s Job Fair

 Gov. Ivey Hosts Fourth Annual Governor’s Job Fair for People With Disabilities at the Mobile Civic Center. Dr. Raoul Richardson of the MAIC's Academy was interviewed by Fox 10 News about the Alabama Governor's Job Fair to help our neighbors get a second chance at employment.  

National Community Development Week

 MAIC was recognized as a nonprofit partner during the Mobile City Council’s meeting during National Community Development week. This annual event was established to help educate public officials and residents on the importance of the Community Development Block Grant and other federal grant programs. In Mobile, these kinds of federal funds have played a significant role in programs related to affordable housing, public services and expanding economic opportunities. 


The (MAIC) welcomed the Baytreat Campers to Reentry Simulation

The Mobile Area Interfaith Conference (MAIC) welcomed the Baytreat Mission Campers from First Presbyterian Church of Anderson, S.C., and First Presbyterian of Mantoon, IL during the past two weeks. Each group was given an overview of MAIC’s programs and a chance to participate in a reentry simulation. The Reentry Simulation simulates the struggles and challenges faced by individuals who are transitioning from incarceration back into society. The goal of this simulation is for participants to gain an understanding of the significant obstacles faced by men and women attempting to navigate the system upon their release from incarceration and returning home to their communities. The kids experienced the first month of post-release life. They assumed the identity of an ex-offender and received a packet of materials, including a “Life Card.” The “Life Card” explains the reentrant’s criminal background, current living situation, current job situation, and the specific weekly tasks that must be accomplished to avoid the risk of being sent back to prison for non-compliance with the requirements of his or her supervised release. As you can see from the pictures most of the kids returned to jail. We hope they understood why our programs are so important. 

We thank Government Street Presbyterian Church for this opportunity. If you would like to schedule a simulation at your church or business, please let us know at 251-308-8725.

Helping People with a Second Chance for Employment

  Early last month the Mobile Career Center held a Second Chances Job Fair for jobseekers who were on probation, but eligible for employment. This event was held at and organized with the Mobile Community Corrections facility. There were 8 employers who participated (Core Industries, Express Employment, Hire Dynamics, Ingalls Shipbuilding, Simple Freight LLC, Labor Finders, Stone Interiors and Waffle House). MAIC/Neighbor Center, SWAPTE, Bishop State and Our Sister’s Closet were the support agencies who were in attendance. Over 100 jobseekers were in attendance. Several job offers were made and the employers were pleased with the quality of candidates. Special thanks to David Hart for his tireless effort in putting the event together. #MAIC #MobileCareerCenter
