About Us
Xtreme Soulutions is a 501c3 Not for Profit organization founded by Blaine Whitt in 2005 to help the families of Marion County, Florida by working with inmates to help them prepare for reentry to society.
Our curriculum is Bible-based and we teach with Christian principles. Participants do not have to be Christian but must agree to respect the basis on which we operate.
What do we Teach?
The curriculum consists of 21 Core Classes, and each class runs for 12 weeks in 2-hour sessions.
- Participants are required to take three classes each semester and attend weekly family and wing meetings and monthly community meetings. Celebration Sunday Services are voluntary.
- Completion depends on the man’s availability, personal abilities, and aptitude but generally takes approximately 2 1/2 to 3 years.
- Additional opportunities to grow are available, for example, Instructor and Leadership Training.
- An assessment is done of each participant’s gifts, such as writing, art, managerial, administrative, and wherever possible, that gift is encouraged through particular assignments. For example, those with artistic talents will work on murals.
- We work closely with Classifications, Education and the TIER Program to ensure the success of individuals.
- The Xtreme SOULutions core curriculum was accredited in 2018 by the FDC clearinghouse.
- Upon completion of all of our classes, FDC has agreed to note the participant’s graduation from the Xtreme SOULutions program on the FDC screen.
- Additional job training programs are available as electives, such as Food Manager and Agricultural.
