The mission of Project Restart is to reduce recidivism and increase success outcomes among formerly incarcerated individuals through education, entrepreneurship training, mentorship and capital.

​

Our mission is to keep more people in their community and out of jail cells by assisting them in determining a viable pathway to long-term self-sufficiency.  When someone returns to their community from incarceration, they are faced with the many pressures of finding housing, employment, child custody or reconnecting with their families, paying restitution, securing transportation, meeting parole or probation demands, adapting to the new world, balancing freedom with restrictions and discipline and often, avoiding a high-risk lifestyle.  I have seen so many people return home to a minimum wage job at a chicken factory, warehouse or at a fast-food restaurant, which makes it impossible to meet the financial demands of life, we aim to ease this transition and connect people to game-changing people, programs and pathways.
