Position Director of Development ($75,000 to $92,000)  
Open Date 12/8/2023  
About the Organization OAR's mission is to rebuild lives and break the cycle of crime with opportunities, alternatives and resources for offenders to create a safer community. OAR of Fairfax County is a community-based non-profit with 43 years of experience providing continuum of pre-release and post-incarceration services for justice involved individuals and their families in Fairfax County. To accomplish its mission OAR's develops, promotes, and operates cost-effective programs to restore criminal offenders to productive roles in the community, offer options to prosecution and/or incarceration, and support families. In addition, active citizen involvement in the restorative process is promoted through the extensive use of trained volunteers who assist in service delivery.



OAR's history has its roots in the highest principles of human rights, and the most practical applications of a community's enlightened self-interest and citizen action. Its origins can be traced to a 1968 prison strike at the Sate Penitentiary in Richmond, Virginia. In response, several local churches convened a conference on Churches and the Correctional System. Following that effort, Jay Worrall, Jr. founded the OAR movement, which at the time stood for Offender Aid and Restoration. It was his vision of citizen visitors helping jail inmates that formed the original premise for the creation of OAR organizations around the country.



In September 1970, Offender Aid and Restoration of Virginia received its articles of incorporation. In 1971, the Fairfax OAR was established, and in 1973, Worrall opened the national office. In 1998, OAR of Fairfax County voted to change its name from Offender Aid and Restoration to do business as 'Opportunities, Alternatives & Resources' in order to better reflect the organization's mission and goals.
