Our program, "CARE Critical Mentorship," is dedicated to providing valuable guidance and support to individuals transitioning from incarceration to community life. Led by mentors who have firsthand experience with the challenges of reintegration, our program aims to empower mentees with the skills, resources, and encouragement they need to succeed. Through meaningful mentorship relationships, we foster understanding, empathy, and positive connections that contribute to the successful reentry and rehabilitation of individuals impacted by incarceration.

vision
We envision a transformative system where we equip system-involved youth with the essential tools and resources needed to be successful upon reentry, empowering them to break the cycle of re-offending. Our ultimate goal is to cultivate a community of productive citizens who dismantle generational cycles of crime and gang involvement, creating a safer and more prosperous society for all.
