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.

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.
