OUR MISSION: Empowering formerly incarcerated people to seize employment and entrepreneurial opportunity in home building, home improvement, and affordable housing.
OUR VISION: That formerly incarcerated people, by starting viable, hiring businesses, will help to solve the problem of recidivism and ultimately end mass incarceration.
Our in-prison workshop prepares returning citizens with a business and action plan so they can hit the ground running upon release.
In our business support group formerly incarcerated people receive the knowledge and guidance they need to succeed as entrepreneurs.
Second chance entrepreneurs complete a business plan and save money to put toward their endeavor. After saving $300, we triple their savings and help them grow their business.
