M2 (Match Two) Prison Ministry matches a community volunteer with a man or woman incarcerated in a Washington State institution. The purpose is one-on-one Christian mentoring through monthly visits. Volunteers meet with their assigned match as part of a group. During the group time, volunteers and inmates visit as they might over a cup of coffee. Men meet with men in men’s prisons. Women meet with women in women’s prisons.
Studies show that the rate of crime is cut in half among those men and women who visit with an M2 or W2 volunteer.
Less than 10% of inmates involved in the program receive family visits of any kind.
The number of years this program has been helping Washington offenders/ex-offenders.
To make our community a safer place to live, while affecting individual lives for Christ. We accomplish this by encouraging an offender to make responsible choices while incarcerated in order to become a self-sufficient, productive member of the community when released. By regular visits, we can be a stable role model and inspire them in their faith journey.
Simply get in touch with us by choosing one of the links above. Someone will be in touch with you soon! You may schedule a trial visit to observe before deciding to volunteer.
You will be sent a link to the Match2 Application, as well as the Department of Corrections forms and training documents.
Once the forms are submitted, you will choose a date to attend a mandatory orientation hosted at the facility you will volunteer at.
Once your orientation is complete, you will be matched with an incarcerated individual. We ask that you commit to visit once a month for at least one year or throughout your match’s confinement.
