Our mission is to empower incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals through healing-centered mentorship, reentry support, and leadership development, while actively disrupting the school-to-prison pipeline by reaching at-risk youth before they enter the system.

​

Through transformative initiatives like Truth for the Youth, we aspire to build a statewide network of resource hubs across California that fosters intergenerational healing, provides access to trauma-informed education, and bridges lived experience with purposeful action to cultivate resilience, accountability, and lasting change.

 

Our programs are grounded in lived experience and designed to meet people where they are, addressing both personal healing and community impact.

​

We proudly collaborate with like-minded organizations and community programs to expand our reach, share knowledge, and strengthen the ecosystem of support that drives meaningful social transformation and long-term public safety.
