BUILDING PEOPLE, NOT PRISONS.
We believe in the power of people to change. We help individuals with justice involvement rebuild their lives, through innovative services and advocacy.
TRANSFORMING LIVES AND ADVANCING SYSTEMIC CHANGE.
We employ a “one-stop-shop” model of service provision, offering in-house services to over 8,000 individuals with justice involvement and advocate for alternatives to incarceration.
GET INVOLVED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
You can help promote successful reentry from incarceration and promote a fair, humane, and truly rehabilitative justice system.
The Fortune Society’s mission is to support successful reentry from incarceration and promote alternatives to incarceration, thus strengthening the fabric of our communities.
