WHAT WE DO.

  • STORYTELLING
    We leverage storytelling to connect incarcerated individuals with the outside world, fostering empathy and understanding through their shared experiences.
  • REINTEGRATION SERVICES
    We serve as a vital resource for recently released individuals, providing access to job placements, educational opportunities, and support for any endeavors they wish to pursue to ensure successful reintegration into society.
  • RECREATIONAL THERAPY
    We use sports as an escape from prison walls and a way to connect, fostering trust and dialogue to understand each individual's needs through a shared love of the game.
  • BOOK CLUBS & EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING
    Our book clubs provide an educational platform where carefully selected books encourage dialogue and vulnerability among participants.
  • MENTORSHIP
    Our diverse volunteers, united by a passion for helping incarcerated individuals, serve as mentors to inspire and guide them upon their release.
