Community Partners in Action is one of the oldest organizations of its kind in the country. CPA was founded nearly 150 years ago to champion criminal justice reform and advocate for preserving the dignity of those in and out of prison. Through their programs that include reentry and housing, youth initiatives, a nationally-recognized Prison Arts Program, and holistic alternatives to incarceration, they provide the long-term impact that positively transforms individuals and society at large.
