MISSION
We create alternatives to incarceration for youth and young adults by rebuilding our communities through committed relationships centered on love, compassion, and consistency.
We meet youth and young adults wherever they are in their journey, offering everything from early support services that build foundations for success to re-entry programs that help them get back on their feet. We show up for people most systems give up on. We support those facing the toughest challenges because we believe people matter, regardless of their past. Through our consistent commitment, we create mutual accountability—when we show up for them, they learn to show up for themselves.

IMPACT

Maybe it’s just us, but we truly believe young people bring way more to our communities outside of prison than behind bars. That’s why we fight to get sentences reduced—so they can graduate high school, go to college, start businesses, and even join us in the fight to save more lives from the criminal justice system. Our results speak for themselves:
