ABOUT US

The Micah Mission (Micah) is a volunteer-driven Restorative Justice organization focused on building safer, more compassionate communities through meaningful human connection.

Through friendship, visitation, support and accountability we aspire to transform the lives of incarcerated, formerly incarcerated individuals, and their families.

Micah was established in 2008 to unite long-standing community programs supporting individuals impacted by the justice system and was formally registered as The Micah Mission Inc. in September 2009. Today, our focus is on Person to Person (P2P), a volunteer visitation program at the Regional Psychiatric Centre, and Circles of Support and Accountability (CoSA), which helps individuals safely reintegrate after serving sentences for sexual offences. Once rooted in church-based initiatives, Micah has grown into a community-driven social justice organization – centering inclusivity, equity, and collective responsibility in all that we do.

WHAT WE DO

Through education and action we help those who have been impacted by crime. We:

  • Visit incarcerated individuals.
  • Assist recently released individuals.
  • Support individuals to learn and change.
  • Teach others about Restorative Justice.

The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion,
who can stay with us in our hour of grief and bereavement,
who can tolerate not knowing… not healing, not curing…
that is a friend who cares.
