Our Mission
JUMPSTART is not a traditional prison ministry. Our in-prison program is designed to help incarcerated men and women discover and live out God’s purpose for their lives. Participants are equipped with the tools they need to break cycles of crime and addiction.
Then, when release day arrives, we don’t simply wish those who've completed the program the best, like most prison ministries do. Our comprehensive model offers a clear pathway to success, including transitional support such as housing, transportation, employment, mentoring, access to professional services, and much more.
This continuum of care approach, rooted in evidence-based practices, breaks the cycle of recidivism.
Join us and help many men and women, and their families, have a future greater than their past.
The Building Second Chances campaign aims to support Restoration Village, a community dedicated to ensuring the ongoing success and development of JUMPSTART's "prison to society
re-entry" program for future generations.
Building Second Chances
Transforming Lives
“When incarcerated people are offered the JUMPSTART program that combines Christian teaching, discipleship, mentoring, job training, transitional housing, and other support services, the rate at which these individuals return to prison drops dramatically.”
Harry, Former Inmate
Offering a 360° Approach to Transform Lives
Growth doesn't happen overnight, not for us, and not for anyone. We believe in the power of the gospel, relational discipleship, tangible support, and second chance opportunities. Join us in our mission to END recidivism in the state of South Carolina!

ABOUT US
Transitional Support, Lasting Impact
Jumpstart is truly transforming lives, and their proven results of only 4% recidivism are outstanding. Jumpstart is what true rehabilitation looks like and is a model that deserves consideration in all states.
Craig Nowokunski
Inside Program Volunteer
I prayed for the Lord to send a support system, a life line to my family to help my son to find the strength, courage, and support system to be not only drug free, happy, and healthy but also become a productive young man in society. This program rebuilds faith and families.

The JUMPSTART ministry has been a real blessing not only to participants of the program but to the family and friends of participants and the community in which they worship, work and live.

My name is Kimberly and I have been a participant for a year now. The program truly works if you take advantage of all they have to offer. What JUMPSTART offers is a new way of living and help to stay grounded in Christ . The program truly changed my life .

Participant
After knowing hundreds of Jumpstart participants, I have an entirely different perspective. Individuals who are released from incarceration face a huge deficit. With no job, no income and a felony record no one will house them; second chances is exactly what Jumpstart is all about.

Truly an incredible and inspiring ministry. Making a huge impact on our community, but more importantly, people's lives, and eternity.

We appreciate all of our trusted partners who each play a significant role in our ministry.
I prayed for the Lord to send a support system, a life line to my family to help my son to find the strength, courage, and support system to be not only drug free, happy, and healthy but also become a productive young man in society. Through God's Grace he would not only succeeded but develop life changing friendship, fellowship, and faith that forever help keep him grounded. This program rebuilds faith and families.
