Transforming Lives Rebuilding Futures
Our Mission
Our mission is to harness the talents, resources, and experiences of formerly incarcerated individuals to empower, guide, and encourage those still serving time.
We Believe
The incarcerated individuals we serve hold the power to transform our communities. We believe, given the resources and opportunity, these individuals are the overlooked answer to helping reduce the crime and violence that is stealing so many of our youth. We believe it is a time for Felon’s to unite and step up to support our communities.

Guiding Youth Sentenced as Adults
KnowB4 is a one-of-a-kind course serving Indiana youth—ages 14–17—who’ve been sentenced as adults and face decades in prison. These young men await transfer to adult facilities after turning 18. KnowB4 prepares them for what lies ahead, equipping them to navigate prison life and begin re-entry from day one.
Juvenile Transition Program (JTP)
JTP is the other side of the coin to our KnowB4 program. The goal of the JTP program is to have mentors inside each adult facility waiting to meet the young men as they transition to adult facilities to serve the time. These mentors many of whom were incarcerated themselves provide guidance, stability, and real-time support.
