 BROTHER'S KEEPER is a Ministry of Tri-State Men's Center,Inc. in Evansville, Indiana.  We are a non-profit, faith-based organization with a vision to address the needs of men as they return from prison to society. Key components of our program include education, job-training and self-help skills, spiritual guidance and Bible study, counseling referrals for life controlling issues, mentoring support, and transportation assistance for accessing health care and community resources. 

Brother’s Keeper residents will begin with an application for participation while still in prison. Interviews will be held with mentors, counselors and the chaplain to determine readiness for our services. Participants selected by the Board of Directors for the residential program live at the Brother’s Keeper home sharing household responsibilities and address their issues of spiritual growth, building life skills, overcoming life-controlling issues, and building confidence for success in life.

Brother's Keeper leases property at 114 W. Illinois Street in Evansville's Near North side, for our resident's housing and training needs. An office area, kitchen/dining area, shower room and bedroom dorms for up to 16 men are included in this first phase.
