Our Initiatives
We are determined to reduce recidivism rates and protect future generations from the continuing cycle of incarceration.
​
We aim to transform the futures of formerly incarcerated people and how they are viewed in our country by reversing the negative impact of incarceration on communities and encouraging life-changing habits.
Our Belief
Stairway to Freedom offers individuals just coming home from prison the ongoing support necessary to build career capital and financial stability. We believe that everyone, regardless of their past, deserves the chance to work toward a stronger future for themselves, their families, and their communities.
