Overview

Mission

Reevolution is an organization creating restorative communities through advocacy, in-prison programs, and reentry initiatives.

What it reported doing in 2024

In-prison programming and in-reachjunior mentor program: our flagship program designed specifically for transitional age youth, providing a catalyst for self-discovery, leadership opportunities, and community building. Through a mentorship model grounded in key restorative values such as mutual respect, care, trust, responsibility and relationship, participants can embrace a new way of being and connecting.in-reach program: a vital part of preparing for successful reentry, offering community reintegration planning, resources, advocacy, and follow-up for individuals within six months of release.restorative mentor training: a variety of training programs created for peer mentors culminating in our year-long, intensive restorative mentor training program. A weekend peer mentor workshop program is also offered to embrace those who may not be ready to commit to the year-long experience, while it deepens the insight of those that do. Through a mentorship model grounded in key restorative values such as mutual respect, care, trust, responsibility and relationship, participants can embrace a new way of being and connecting.sanctuary program: an insight-oriented, evidence-based, creative curriculum deeply rooted in restorative principles. The sanctuary program is specifically targeted for transitional age youth, facilitating a deeper understanding of harm experienced and caused, and focused on repairing that harm through increased accountability and empathy.hoop valley: a platform for basketball games between the incarcerated population and teams from the outside as well as an experience in community building, camaraderie, and leadership. Hoop valley is designed by formerly incarcerated reevolution facilitators who participated in san quentin's longstanding basketball program and were featured in the fox documentary, q ball. This program particularly appeals to people with a love of sports who are not traditionally interested in programming. It is often the first encounter that participants have with programming, leading to more opportunities for growth and self-actualization.ride home program: a warm welcome home with a supportive ride from prison to arrival in the community, providing a safe space for individuals to prepare for their next chapter with someone who has been through the journey. Sharing first experiences with a driver who's previously taken the ride allows fears and hopes about this upcoming chapter to be explored and provides healing moments for driver and passenger alike.
