What is MAP Reintegration?

MAP is a CRA registered charitable organization that provides a supportive presence for people leaving both the provincial and federal criminal justice systems in the Ottawa area.  MAP was started in Ottawa in May 2000 by a drop-in director, a Catholic Deacon, a social service worker, and two former inmates who all had a common vision: to see those finishing their prison term take a new direction in their lives when they are released. 

What part does MAP Reintegration play in the community?

Through providing hands-on support, encouragement and empowerment for those who are reintegrating into society, we are enabling people to redirect their lives and become productive, dynamic members of the community after they leave prison.

Since its beginning, MAP has supported thousands of people leaving the correctional system. MAP has an elected Board of Directors as well as a part-time Reintegration Manager and a cadre of trained volunteers who support our clients. 

How MAP Reintegration affects you…

Many of us know of someone who has made bad decisions and thereby become involved in the criminal justice system at some point: maybe it was a friend’s friend, someone in your neighborhood, or a loved one.  Regardless, of the circumstances, we can all help in some way, whether it is by volunteering, offering prayer, moral support, financial donations, or spreading the word about the impact MAP has on its clients.  Most of all, MAP helps communities as a whole by supporting people that want to learn to care about and become productive members of their neighborhoods and communities again.  And that affects us all.
