Mission
THE MISSION OF THE WANDA JOYCE ROBINSON FOUNDATION IS TO PROVIDE MENTORSHIP AND RESOURCES TO CHILDREN, YOUTH, AND FAMILIES IMPACTED BY INCARCERATION. THE FOUNDATION HAS THE UNIQUE CAPACITY TO "FILL THE GAPS" THAT MACRO-LEVEL SOCIAL SERVICES UNINTENTIONALLY CREATE. THE FOUNDATION UNITES THE OFFENDER, THEIR CHILDREN, LAW ENFORCEMENT, CORRECTIONAL SYSTEM, SCHOOLS, MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, GOVERNMENT AND BUSINESSES TO CREATE A FAMILY NETWORK. WITHIN THIS NETWORK, THE FOUNDATION PROVIDES MENTORSHIP PROGRAMS FOR BOTH THE INCARCERATED PARENT AND CHILD; SUPPORT SERVICES FOR NON- INCARCERATED PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS; TRAINING FOR EDUCATORS; AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR RELATIONSHIP BUILDING IN THE COMMUNITY. IT IS THE VISION OF THE FOUNDATION TO END THE CYCLE OF INCARCERATION BY PROVIDING THE CHILDREN AND YOUTH WE SERVE A PATH OF HOPE AND A VISION OF A SUCCESSFUL FUTURE.
