Our Vision

A platform for prisoners, former prisoners, and all citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia to give back and contribute positively to their community. Firmly rooted in the “love thy neighbor” creed, for we believe that to love thy neighbor is to love thy community.

Our Mission

• To help promote public safety through implementation of myriad actions and projects in the community. 
• To provide emergency, transitional, and affordable housing to the homeless and economically disadvantaged members of the community.
• To provide economic relief to the poor, homeless, or the economically disadvantaged members of the community, especially the men and women returning home from incarceration 
• To give voice and assistance to those impacted by mental health and substance use disorders, to prevent use of illicit drugs and substance abuse, to reduce the stigma of mental illness, and to establish and maintain an inclusive, peer-run community of recovery.
• To help facilitate and promote the successful re-entry of citizens returning from incarceration in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
• To promote criminal and social justice advocacy.
• To “give back” to the continent of Africa by helping to empower and educate her young women and the economically disadvantaged.
