I have followed this organization for the last 3-4 years, and have been impressed with their model of utilizing businesses as part of the therapeutic process. In addition to offsetting a majority of their operational expenses, these businesses provide valuable work experience for residents that will benefit after graduation. The leadership of the organization is passionate, informed, and engaged in the mission of rehabilitation.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
direct observation of changed lives, and the ability of the residents to share their individual experiences with me 1-on-1.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
look for ways to grow / repeate the model, which has exhibited incredibly low recidivism rates vs. other rehabilitation models.
MY ROLE:
Donor & I have donated money and time to the organization.
