Our History
Seeing a need for energetic, nonprofit work in the area of “children in need of care” and non violent drug offenses, we formed our organization to provide sensible solutions. We've consistently grown since then, all thanks to the helping hands of this amazing community!
Recidivation is when an incarcerated individual returns to criminal activity and bad behavior. A study by the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections (2012-2015) shows that recidivation rates decreased by 7% in youth who participated in one RTF workshop…and by 14% in youth who participated in multiple workshops. Our evidence-based curriculum is making a difference!
Our Mission
We focus on making the maximum positive effort for our community. Our members and volunteers provide the momentum that helps us affect change. Using data driven models, we provide solutions that make a long-lasting difference. Ending recidivism and private prison for profit is our end goal.
