REAL HOPE
Hope is an essential component of any struggle to change lives. People need hope to live, but hope alone is not enough; it needs to be based in reality and more than an intangible belief. The Persevere Program is designed to use evidence-based practices, tangible and individualized support, and is based on successful outcomes.
VALUABLE SKILLS
We disrupt the cycle of criminality and poverty by stepping into the revolving door of the prison system, removing barriers to reentry an employment, and delivering comprehensive programming and personalized case – management to our students.
MEANINGFUL OPPORTUNITY
Everything we do is to empower our students to do more, to have more, to be more than they thought possible. Anyone can succeed if only they have access to higher education, employment, housing, networking, and other critical opportunities
DISRUPTING INCARCERATION AT EVERY LEVEL
Thanks to partnerships and comprehensive programming, Persevere provides support and hope to those most at risk of incarceration and recidivism. Our programs take place in prisons, offices, communities, homes, and organizations across the country.
Persevere in Prisons
Our training program disrupts the revolving door of incarceration by teaching men and women the technical and life skills to be successful upon release. Once free, they stay that way!
Persevere in the Workforce
Persevere disrupts the oppressive cycle of poverty and criminality by creating employment opportunities for at-risk youth, current or previously justice-involved individuals, and BIPOC populations.
Persevere in Our Communities
Persevere and our partners connect adults and children with support services and vital resources in their area to strengthen families, who in turn strengthen their communities.
