Mission: Our mission is to reduce recidivism by helping restored citizens work on the barriers in their thinking while learning to become business owners. We also work to prevent our youth from getting involved with crime, as well as help the community combat the social issues that may lead to crime, such as poverty, food insecurity, housing insecurity and education.
Results: We have established a good reputation in the community and directly help over 150 men and women, start business, get into union trades, return to school and dare to see outside of their box. We are now working with the community to start a Housing Co-op and still mentor over 20 people ranging from ages 13 to late adulthood.
