About
About Forever Moms
Forever Moms is a program of ChannelMom dedicated to supporting incarcerated and formerly incarcerated mothers through mentorship, parenting education, community support, and reentry resources.
We believe every mother deserves dignity, support, and the opportunity to rebuild her life and strengthen her family.
What began as a desire to walk alongside women impacted by incarceration has grown into a community of volunteers, mentors, and partners committed to helping mothers find hope, healing, and long-term stability.
Our programs are designed to create safe, supportive spaces where women can grow personally, strengthen family relationships, and build healthy foundations for the future.

More than a program
Forever Moms is more than a class or resource list. We are building lasting support systems for mothers both during incarceration and after release.
Our goal is not only to provide information, but to help women experience:
- Connection
- Encouragement
- Accountability
- Practical support
- Hope for the future
By combining mentorship, community, and reentry support, we strive to help women transition successfully back into their families and communities.
Volunteers, mentors, and partners
Forever Moms is made possible through dedicated volunteers, mentors, churches, nonprofit partners, and supporters who believe in walking alongside mothers with compassion and consistency.
Our volunteers come from many different backgrounds but share one common goal: helping women feel supported, encouraged, and equipped to move forward.
Why this work matters
Approximately 80% of incarcerated women are mothers. Many face significant barriers during incarceration and reentry, including housing instability, trauma, addiction recovery, employment challenges, and family separation.
Forever Moms exists to help bridge those gaps through relationship-centered support, education, and community connection.
We believe when mothers are supported, families are strengthened and future generations are impacted.
