A community outreach initiative supporting individuals affected by incarceration through mentorship, encouragement, practical support, and personal transformation.
The Tracee Carter Project is a community outreach initiative dedicated to supporting individuals affected by incarceration through mentorship, encouragement, practical support, and personal transformation. Founded by Tracee Carter, the project is built on the conviction that every person deserves the opportunity to rebuild their life with dignity, purpose, and hope.
Drawing from his own life journey, Tracee works with men inside correctional facilities and those returning to society, helping them navigate the challenges of reintegration while encouraging positive choices, personal responsibility, and lasting change.
A person’s past should never define their future.
The Tracee Carter Project exists to encourage transformation through consistent presence, meaningful relationships, and practical support.
For more than sixteen years, Tracee Carter has served individuals within correctional institutions, offering encouragement, mentorship, and opportunities for personal growth. His work is founded on the belief that a person’s past should never define their future and that restoration is possible when people are given support, guidance, and the opportunity to make a fresh start.
The project works alongside correctional institutions, community organisations, volunteers, and ministry partners to support individuals during incarceration and as they prepare to re-enter society.
Regular visits to correctional facilities provide opportunities to engage with inmates through conversations, mentoring, teaching, and encouragement. These engagements create safe spaces where individuals can reflect on their lives, ask questions, and prepare for life beyond prison.
The journey does not end at release. The project encourages continued support for individuals returning to society by connecting them with positive relationships, practical guidance, and community resources that promote successful reintegration.
One-on-one mentoring helps participants build confidence, develop life skills, strengthen decision-making, and pursue positive goals for themselves and their families.
The project welcomes individuals who want to serve by participating in prison visits, mentoring programmes, community outreach, administrative support, and other activities that contribute to the mission.
Tracee Carter’s commitment to serving the prison community is deeply personal.
Born in Philadelphia, he experienced years of substance abuse and criminal activity that resulted in a six-year prison sentence.
Following his release in 2007, he joined the House of Hope Prison Transition Ministry, where he received guidance, encouragement, and support as he rebuilt his life.
In 2009, he began volunteering in prison ministry, returning to correctional facilities to encourage men facing many of the same struggles he had once experienced. His service began with Kairos Prison Ministry International and later included work with Casting the Net Ministry.
Today, he leads the Abundant Life Prison Ministry (ALPM) while collaborating with other organisations that support individuals during and after incarceration.
His outreach extends to correctional facilities across Florida, including:
Alongside his community work, Tracee has built a successful career as a flooring specialist and business owner, demonstrating that lasting change is possible through perseverance, accountability, and opportunity.
The Tracee Carter Project continues to support men affected by incarceration by creating opportunities for encouragement, mentoring, and positive community engagement.
Working with volunteers, correctional institutions, and partner organisations, the project promotes restoration, personal responsibility, and successful reintegration. Every prison visit, conversation, mentoring session, and act of service contributes to helping individuals rebuild confidence and prepare for a productive future.
