Our Mission

The mission of The WORC, Inc. is to help female offenders become self-sufficient, empowered and to divest them from public assistance.

An Alternative to Incarceration

An Alternative to Incarceration
The WORC has become a vital component of the criminal justice system.  Judges utilize the program as a 'true alternative' to a jail sentence.  Through assessment, tutoring, counseling, and ultimately employment, WORC ends the womens' need for public assistance.

The Program

The WORC offers a six month structured day reporting program that has proven to be effective. The following services are provided by licensed NY State certified staff:  Court advocacy for pre-sentence female offenders, educational assistance, vocational services, personal counseling, life-skills workshops and assessment and referrals.
