Who We Are

 Crochet Corner is a powerful example of creativity, healing, and purpose behind the walls. Led by a group of incarcerated men, this initiative uses crochet as a tool for connection and contribution. With focus and care, the men handcraft stuffed animals—each stitch representing patience, growth, and hope. These lovingly made creations are then donated to children in need, turning time served into time given back. Through Crochet Corner, these men reclaim their humanity, challenge stereotypes, and prove that even inside prison, they can be a source of comfort, kindness, and service to the community.  

 Real Love, Real Talk is a 12-week trauma-informed, reentry-focused curriculum designed for incarcerated individuals who are ready to grow, heal, and build stronger connections. Through engaging weekly sessions, participants explore key topics like communication, boundaries, attachment styles, trust, emotional safety, and love after incarceration.  Rooted in self-awareness and empowerment, this program offers practical tools and reflective exercises to help participants develop healthy relationship habits—both with others and with themselves.  

 The Aura Project is a 6-week holistic healing program designed to support the emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being of incarcerated individuals. Each week explores a different healing modality—from sound therapy and meditation to journaling and crystal work—offering both education and hands-on practice. Through this trauma-informed approach, participants are empowered with tools for self-discovery, stress relief, and inner transformation.  

 Our 12-week Reentry Prep Program is designed to equip individuals with the tools, knowledge, and confidence they need to successfully transition back into the community. Each week focuses on practical life skills, personal development, and systems navigation—covering topics like employment readiness, housing resources, healthy relationships, financial literacy, and wellness strategies. Grounded in trauma-informed care and real-world experience, this program empowers participants to build stable, fulfilling lives post-incarceration.  

Our LGBTQ+ Support Group and Education Classes provide a safe, affirming space for incarcerated individuals and allies to come together, learn, and support one another. The Support Group offers LGBTQ+ individuals a chance to connect, share experiences, and build resilience in a community that understands their unique challenges. Meanwhile, the Education Class is designed for allies and anyone interested in learning more about the LGBTQ+ community, promoting understanding, empathy, and inclusivity. Together, these initiatives foster healing, empower individuals to become effective allies, and create a supportive environment where everyone is seen, heard, and valued
