Offender Aid & Restoration Arlington Co

Continued . . . the dream for oar is not to have to exist 50 years after that since we no longer want to be needed. to achieve that, oar must do great work both upstream (social justice, education, and legislative change) and downstream (journeying with individuals experiencing incarceration, reentering the community after their release, and offering alternative sentencing options). through our upstream work, we are confronting and dismantling injustices and marginalizations in the legal system and across all systems, as well as advocating for legislative change. our downstream work allows us to be on the journey with individuals of all genders impacted by the criminal legal system and support their families in the reentry process. we journey with approximately 500 individuals reentering the community pre-release and post-release, as well as their families, approximately 300 children and families each year. we also offer alternative sentencing options, including community service and diversion programs, so people can avoid the trauma of incarceration and instead help the community thrive. we journey with approximately 100 youth and 1,000 adults enrolled in our alternative sentencing and diversion programs each year. oar is a collective, non-dominant, decolonizing, racially and ethnically just, radically joyful, deeply loving, come-as-you-are, and liberated organization that puts participants first. we center authentic and fully engaged relationships with all members of the oar community. oar uses people-first and strength-based language and sees participants as experts on themselves and leaders of their own lives and plans. oar actively recruits collective members, volunteers, board members, and contractors who have shared life experiences with program participants, i.E., experience with incarceration or directly impacted by the criminal legal system, experienced with racial marginalization, experience with substance use disorder or mental health needs, or experience with having a loved one affected by incarceration, the criminal legal system, racial marginalization, substance use disorder, or mental health needs.
