OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS REFLECT BOTH MEASURABLE PROGRESS AND TRANSFORMATIVE COMMUNITY IMPACT. CORE SERVICE AREAS AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT: 1. EMPLOYMENT AND VOCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT: THROUGH WORKFORCE READINESS TRAINING, RESUME BUILDING, INTERVIEW PREPARATION, DIRECT EMPLOYER CONNECTIONS, AND SECOND-CHANCE EMPLOYMENT PATHWAYS, WE HAVE SUPPORTED JUSTICE-IMPACTED INDIVIDUALS IN SECURING MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT. BY LEVERAGING LIVED EXPERIENCE AND PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES, WE HELP PARTICIPANTS OVERCOME SYSTEMIC EMPLOYMENT BARRIERS, INCREASING FINANCIAL STABILITY AND REDUCING RECIDIVISM RISK. OUR PARTICIPANT-POWERED EMPLOYMENT PATHWAYS SUCH AS MOVING, TRANSPORTATION, AND ENTRPRENEURIAL DEVELOPMENT PROVIDE HANDS-ON TRAINING, INCOME GENERARTION, AND REAL-WORLD SKILL BUILDING. THESE SERVICES DIRECTLY ENHANCE ECONOMIC MOBILITY AND RESTORE DIGNITY THROUGH WORK. 2.

ENTERPRENEURSHIP AND SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT: WE SUPPORT JUSTICE-IMPACTED ENTREPRENEURS IN LAUNCHING AND SCALING BUSINESSES THROUGH BUSINESS PLANNING GUIDANCE, FINANCIAL LITERACY, AND OPERATIONAL COACHING. BY FOSTERING OWNERSHIP AND ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE, WE ARE BUILDING COMMUNITY WEALTH AND DEMONSTRATING THAT LIVED PAST EXPERIENCE IS AN ASSET NOT A BARRIER TO LEADERSHIP. COMMUNITY IMPACT AND MISSION ALIGNMENT: LEVELED UP REENTRY ENHANCES COMMUNITY SAFETY AND WELL-BEING BY ADDRESSING ROOT CAUSES OF RECIDIVISM-UNEMPLOYMENT, HOUSING INSTABILITY, LACK OF SUPPORT SYSTEMS, AND UNTREATED TRAUMA.

AS A BLACK-AND INDIGENOUS-LED ORGANIZATION GOVERNED INDIVIDUALS WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE, OUR APPROACH IS CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE AND GROUNDED LIBERATION, ACCOUNTIBILITY, AND COMPASSION.
