Initially established as a teaching endeavor in the Rutherford County Correctional Work Center with 12 students, one unpaid teacher, and four volunteers, the agency has grown to provide education and transition planning in each of Rutherford County’s correctional facilities.

Doors of Hope offers a yearlong reentry and recovery program as an alternative to women returning to high-risk environments. This program provides a fresh start, where they participate in a comprehensive reentry and recovery program which includes safe, supportive housing.

Though Doors of Hope specializes in reentry services for justice involved women, we also provide programming for women completing inpatient substance use treatment.
