How Do We Promote Change

Our Changes Program seeks to help individuals create a substantial change in their lives. Changes helps individuals overcome barriers of being a person who possesses  a criminal background, or substance abuse disorder in order to obtain stability. Individuals are deemed as difficult to employ or unemployable due to their criminal background or suffering from substance abuse. These barriers often  hinder them from successfully reentering into the community and becoming self-sufficient.

Through our Changes Program, we provide participants an individualized service plan based on their individual needs. The services provided include job readiness training, job placement assistance, mental health services, mentor ship and referrals to services not provided directly by the organization such as GED programs, drug/alcohol inpatient and outpatient treatment, transitional housing, childcare, parenting classes, etc. 

Creating Opportunities and guiding those to make the right choices, through change.
Food For Thought
"Imagine for a moment, the worst thing you've ever done. The thing that causes you the most guilt and shame. Now imagine that this thing or event precedes you in all aspects
of your life. Its printed on your business cards, its on your social media pages, and its available for anyone to find on the internet with very little effort..."

Ready for Change

The program essentially allows individuals with a criminal background or substance abuse disorder to make meaningful contributions to their livelihood and communities despite the barriers due to their circumstances.
The Changes Program is a holistic approach to dealing with effects of crime  and drug use on our communities. Through ex-offender re-entry work programs and criminal justice reform advocacy, we provide the necessary resources to individuals and communities who suffer from high crime rates and incarceration. In addition, working towards improving the high rates of drug use and abuse in vulnerable populations as both often lead to high rates of unemployment and homelessness.
