We are a 501c3 non-profit organization that prides itself in transforming the lives of people with criminal histories and the community’s perception of the incarcerated population. Our holistic approach includes an in-prison career education program, community engagement, re-entry support, a fair opportunity hiring program, and criminal justice advocacy initiatives. 

Our in-prison program teaches job readiness and character development through PAIRIN, a research-based tool kit. The last half of the program is focused on the entrepreneurial mindset, in which individuals create a business idea. Our program welcomes community members to come into prison with us as mentors. During a participant’s initial reentry, staff will connect them to wraparound services, as well as to volunteer mentor support from the community. Our support extends past release, staff maintains contact every week for the first month of re-entry. Additionally, our Fair Opportunity Employment project works to recruit fair opportunity partners and develop resources/tools to support in hiring and maintaining fair opportunity talent. Lastly, advocacy is an essential part of working in the criminal justice sector. Through the spread of information and engagement initiates we are advocating for a more fair and productive justice system. 

 We believe in humans, and in our shared humanity because we know that every person deserves to be seen, heard, and challenged to rise above their past to break through to a better tomorrow.
