One of the new initiatives Generation-NEX, Inc. offers is iR.E.A.C.H Mentoring. The iR.E.A.C.H. means ( R-estore.E-mpower.A-cheive.C-elebrate. and give H-ope) the mentoring program was created to R.E.A.C.H. women of all age groups. And to bring awareness to everyone about women's issues and women reentering society from incarceration. According to a Prison Policy Initiative in a 2017 survey, there were over 219,000 women incarcerated in the United States there were 99,000 Women in State Prisons, 96,000 in Jails,14,000 in Federal Prison and there are many other women including young girls sitting and waiting to be sentenced. Furthermore, most of these incarcerated women have children that they leave behind. This creates broken homes and dysfunctional families in our communities.
Patricia A. Bufford is the Founder/President of Generation-NEX, Inc. and the creator of iR.E.A.C.H Mentoring. For 22 years Patricia A. Bufford worked, supervised and managed women as an NYS Correction Officer at the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility located in Westchester County. This prison is the only female maximum security facility in the State of New York. It houses over 900 convicted female felony offenders.
Patricia A.Bufford worked in a position of authority as an officer but she also was a beacon of light and a "Change Agent" to many broken women living in darkest. She gave them hope to live and life-changing words of wisdom on a daily basis.
Many of these women were survivors of sexual violence, domestic violence, sexual abuse, narcotics abuse and alcohol abuse, and not to forget relationship challenges that interrupted their lives. These interruptions caused them to make poor choices and bad decisions leading many of them to do severe time behind prison bars. While doing this time it caused their dreams, goals, and aspirations to be deferred and some of them will never get a chance to pursue any dream, goals or aspirations.
It is with great compassion that Patricia A.Bufford holds up the mantle to R.E.A.C.H. out and impact the lives of women and girls of all races, ages, and backgrounds. Reverend Patricia A. Bufford is now an ordained elder. She is also an Empowerment Speaker. She knows that with God all things are possible and through Him, lives can be changed R-estored.E-mpowered. A-chieve.C-elebrated. and have H-ope. Through mentoring, we can help to save young girls from becoming women behind prison walls. Each One, Teach One! It takes a Village to raise a child, but it takes a family of faith to raise a village. If we can change mindsets we can change lives! The iR.E.A.C.H mentoring aims to help women, and girls to know and grow into women that will pursue their dreams, goals, and aspirations without interruptions.
