Why This Model Works
This program is built on evidence-based practices and designed by people with lived experience.
Research-Backed Approach
Programs that address BOTH trauma AND employment have the highest success rates for reducing recidivism. We don't just teach you to code—we help you heal the wounds that contributed to your involvement with the justice system.
The 24-month timeline isn't arbitrary. Research shows meaningful behavior change and skill mastery requires 18-24 months. Shorter programs don't create lasting transformation.
Designed BY People With Lived Experience
This program wasn't created by academics in ivory towers. It was designed by people who have been where you are—who understand what it's like to be locked up, to come home, to try to rebuild.
Our curriculum, our support structure, our policies—everything is informed by lived experience and what actually works in the real world.
Launching Our First Cohort
We're brand new. Our first cohort starts soon. You have the opportunity to be part of something from the ground up—to shape this program and help us prove that people deserve second chances.
In 24 months, you won't just have a certificate—you'll have a story about being a pioneer, about taking a chance on yourself when it mattered most.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I graduate?
Lifetime access to all materials. Alumni network. Job placement support. Career services. Opportunities to mentor new participants. Scholarship fund for continuing education (bachelor's/master's programs).
Is this really free? What's the catch?
Really free. No catch. Funded by grants, foundations, and donors who believe in second chances. You pay $0 for tuition, materials, tablet, workbooks—everything. The only "cost" is your commitment to show up and do the work.
