Friends Outside was founded over 55 years ago by a Quaker woman in San Jose California, and incubated by the Friends Service Committee.  We are a visionary, pro-active child and family advocate helping families, children and incarcerated individuals cope with the trauma of arrest and incarceration, to find a new direction, and to move forward with their lives.  Our numerous years of experience working with adults and young people involved in the criminal justice system have provided us with the necessary information to address the special needs of families and children. We are a nonprofit, community-based organization that is governed by a Board of Directors that ensures that our programs and services are aligned with our mission, vision and values, and that the highest standards of stewardship are maintained.
