Elizabeth Fry Society Edmonton
Elizabeth Fry Society of Edmonton is dedicated to supporting women in the community, correctional institutions, and in the law courts. We have a variety of programs to help women better their lives such as: Financial Literacy, Employment Program, Prison Liaison Program, Human Rights in Action and Aboriginal Womens Program, .
At EFRY our main goals are as follows:
Integration: reduce barriers and improve community integration for women and girls who are or are at risk of becoming criminalized.
Human Rights: protect the human rights of women and girls who are or are at risk of becoming criminalized.
Prevention: reduce criminalization of women and girls.
Volunteers for the society should be non judgmental, have empathetic understanding, and have a passion to support those who need it most at times.
