MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Our mission is to teach and foster decision-making and life-planning skills among women who are incarcerated, and others expressing interest, by means of a structured curriculum delivered by trained volunteers. The ultimate goal is to reduce recidivism among female offenders and to break the inter-generational cycle of crime by teaching women (most of whom are mothers) how to gain more control over their lives by setting goals, deciding rather than reacting, and making and sticking to concrete plans for changing their attitudes and behaviors.

VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

We increase the likelihood of a smooth and permanent transition back into society for women who have been incarcerated, victims of sex trafficking, or addiction. We teach and foster decision-making and life-planning skills for women and others through a structured curriculum delivered by trained volunteers.
