we believe everyone deserves a brighter future.
At ReEntry by Design, we believe in the transformational power of providing formerly incarcerated men and women with a second chance. Our mission is to empower those that truly want to change the trajectory of their lives through education, mentoring and community engagement.
Changing direction, changing lives.
At ReEntry by Design, we strive to lessen the fear and uncertainty of reentry by helping individuals build a path to a new and better life.
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and a proud member of the Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits.
The Facts
According to statistics, roughly 39% of people incarcerated in Arizona return to prison within 3 years of being released. Of those that return, the majority cite the lack of a support system as the number one reason for recidivating. Most reported struggling to find adequate housing and employment and almost all shared that they felt they could have succeeded had they just had someone to help guide them.
At ReEntry by Design, we systematically address these barriers as we prepare individuals for release. Simultaneously, we construct a network of support in the community designed to help each individual stay on his or her path to a new and brighter future.
Our Foundational Beliefs
We believe we are not defined by our past successes or failures, but simply by how we choose to conduct ourselves each day.
We believe that personal happiness and self-worth are derived from adding value to something, whether it be a relationship, the community, the environment, the world.
We feel that by discovering this sense of purpose, we add contentment and meaning to our lives and therein find peace and true happiness.
