POSITIVE OUTREACH DEVELOPMENT SOCIETY
Positive Outreach Development (POD) Society is for the communities both behind the walls and in society. Returning citizens are in need of preparation to have the best opportunity to succeed in their life after prison. With the right guidance and resources, the chances of them returning back to prison will be minimized by going through the P.O.D. program.
Recidivism has been a public safety issue for far too long. The POD process can make the road to reentry manageable. Each day after incarceration is challenging, returning citizens need confidence with their rehabilitation for success in society.
Character is what makes compatibility to society possible. Rebuilding and preparing returning citizens is what Positive Outreach Development prioritizes. This platform will revolutionize the way ex offenders return to society. Change comes from within, it also is aided by the assistance from Credible Messengers who can mentor towards a brighter future.
POD's team of dedicated Facilitators and Mentors start the process of Rehabilitation with those individuals who are incarcerated first.
Working hands on with the offender population to educate , motivate and provide the meaningful resources needed for a successful reentry.
Dr. Travis Barber and his organization, 1Mo Question inc., have expanded their efforts to support POD in the mission to end recidivism. This collaboration aims to leverage the expertise and resources of both entities to create more effective strategies and interventions for reducing repeat offenses among formerly incarcerated individuals. Through this partnership, they seek to provide comprehensive support, education, and resources to help individuals reintegrate into society successfully and avoid returning to the criminal justice system.
POD thrives on the support and commitment of the community, working to increase public safety while fostering a culture and society of positivity.
Our POD community events are designed to foster networking among community activists, leaders, support organizations, and families. By creating an open and safe space, these events aim to facilitate the development and sharing of strategies for community success and improvement. This environment encourages collaboration, idea exchange, and mutual support, empowering participants to work together on developmental strategies for the benefit of the community.
The POD team works to educate the community by hosting events that engage citizens with our mission. We collaborate with organizations to create a village that operates on positivity.
