Get on the Bus Program:  Virtual Event in Celebration of Mother’s Day, Thursday, May 6

Get on the Bus (GOTB) is a program that brings family members to prisons so children can spend time with their incarcerated parents.  The Program is hosting its first virtual event in celebration of Mother's Day.  It will be held on Thursday, May 6, at 6:00 p.m.  GOTB founder, Sister Suzanne Jabro, C.S.J., will share the two-decade journey of GOTB to build a grassroots movement to support children impacted by parental incarceration.  Please join us as we come together to embrace children of incarcerated parents and help them build a better future for themselves, their families, and our communities.  Register for this event at:
