For nearly five years, Sober Corps has positively impacted the lives of newly sober men and women through mentor relationships. Our approach stresses a one-to-one connection and focuses on breaking a cycle of addiction. Many of our participants have been through recovery and relapse multiple times and have tried to stay sober on their own with limited success. Our mentorship program, which is aimed at people who are leaving a treatment center or halfway house, is offered free of charge and helps the recovering person find sober housing, meaningful work, education opportunities and a new network of support. If you’re interested in joining Sober Corps as a participant, you must meet the following criteria:
- Must be sober. We typically match people in their third month of recovery, but we will start the application process for anyone in their first year of sobriety.
- Must be involved in a 12-step program.
- Must make a decision to succeed in recovery.
- Must be willing to make a commitment to a mentor relationship through your first anniversary of sobriety.
If you meet the above criteria and you’re interested in learning more, please contact us or visit the frequently asked questions page on our site.
“A crucial key to recovery is developing a solid sober support network. Sober Corps provides a necessary link between treatment and the recovering community. They provide a solid example of what individual recovery looks like.”
– George Fraser, Program Director, Salvation Army ARC Minneapolis
