I'm a co-founder of the organization, and I serve on the board of directors. I wouldn't say I'm in charge but I'm definitely on the ground floor. :-)

Thanks for the support. I'm a big fan of chances myself. In the US, many people are put in prison for reasons that don't make a lot of sense. It can be a rather corrupt system. So it's not so much about changing ones ways, to me, as it is about recognizing that everyone deserves a chance at success - regardless of their background.

In the future, we plan to extend similar assistance to veterans being released from service, homeless people trying to improve their circumstances, and women trying to leave shelters.

Once you've left society, for whatever reason, the odds are against you being able to successfully reenter. We want to help with that. :-)
