The Alston Wilkes Society extends a helping hand to those who are most at-risk and helps rebuild their lives through rehabilitation and prevention services. AWS was founded to provide services to adults who were being released from federal correctional facilities, and has grown to increase our service reach to include homeless veterans, at-risk families and disadvantaged and troubled youth.
The Alston Wilkes Society gives hope and rebuilds lives through our rehabilitation and prevention services.  We extend a helping hand to those who are most at risk.

We were founded in 1962 as a non-profit organization dedicated to providing rehabilitative services to adults released from correctional facilities.  The effort was led by a group of volunteers working under the direction of the Reverend Eli Alston Wilkes, Jr., a Methodist minister who labored as a tireless and devoted worker in helping those less fortunate.  Today, the Alston Wilkes Society is the largest statewide agency of its kind providing direct services in the United States.

One by one, we are making a difference.  By reaching out to those in need and providing rehabilitative resources, we are helping to turn lives around.

Become a part of the great things happening at the Alston Wilkes Society by becoming a member, making a donation, and volunteering your time and talent.  It's a gift that will offer something many in society no longer have  HOPE!
