Mission
To provide members of disadvantaged communities the freedom to a more successful life by expanding the choices they have through services in the areas of Education, Spirituality, Life Skills, Treatment Services and Employment Skills. We recognize that we do not have control over the choices they make, but we do have the ability to expand the options they have.
Program accomplishments

We helped them establish credit, get the necessary documents to work legally in the US, find stable employment, and housing preventing them to become homeless. We have partnered with multiple other nonprofits in our area to provide wrap-around services which include drug prevention, criminal thinking signs, anger management and family unification. We have expanded our program to offer 61 available beds for Reentry and transition.)Expenses $1,291,676
