Who We Are

JerNe is a 501 c3 organization. Our faith-based organization was incorporated as a non-profit entity with the State of Texas in 2013. JerNe is committed to advancing the kingdom of God by walking with women who are emotionally wounded, shame-filled, and guilt-ridden, by helping them change their perspective on life despite past mistakes.

The goal of JerNe is to work towards preventing recidivism. Helping women cultivate a healthy view of themselves by applying the word of God and assisting them with projects, that can be applied to their lives on a daily basis, will bring healing, restoration, and transformation.

Accessing and getting to the root cause of why a woman commits a crime and continues to be a product of the system over and over is a challenge that JerNe addresses. We teach women, the female offender, who is likely a single mother, a divorced woman, a married woman, and even a grandmother, that the life they are living, and the reason for the arrest, does not have to be the end of their story. JerNe will walk alongside these women, giving them practical applications along with Spiritual guidance that they can apply to their lives so that they are not forced back into the system.
