Overview

Mission

Our mission is to transform lives and strengthen communities by empowering individuals impacted by incarceration. Through our programs and advocacy, we create pathways to successful reentry while amplifying the voices of those coming home and their loved ones. We champion the fundamental truth that there is not only life after prison, but the potential for growth, leadership, and positive change that enriches our entire community.

What it reported doing in 2025

Our let's get technical program addresses a critical gap facing returning citizens in today's increasingly digital world. Our program equips participants with essential technology skills, from basic computer literacy to advanced digital competencies, ensuring they can navigate modern workplace demands with confidence. Through hands-on training in industry- standard software, digital communication tools, and online job search platforms, participants develop practical skills that dramatically improve their employment prospects. The program goes beyond technical training by incorporating digital financial literacy, online safety, and professional networking skills; creating a holistic approach to technological empowerment. This innovative approach not only bridges the digital divide but also provides returning citizens with the confidence and capabilities needed to successfully reintegrate into an increasingly technology- dependent society, ultimately reducing recidivism rates and fostering long-term economic stability.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
