Who We Are
Our Vision
A future where every individual—regardless of their past circumstances, challenges, or barriers—has access to the support, resources, and opportunities needed to thrive. A future where people can heal, rebuild, and create stable, fulfilling lives filled with dignity, purpose, and hope. A future where communities are strengthened by the full participation, contributions, and inclusion of all individuals, recognizing that every person has the potential to grow, succeed, and positively impact society.
Our Approach
At the S & T Foundation, we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to build a fulfilling life, regardless of their past experiences or circumstances. We recognize the diverse challenges faced by individuals navigating transitions—whether from rehabilitation, incarceration, hardship, or other life changes—and we are committed to providing the holistic support, resources, and opportunities needed to succeed. Through compassion and dedication, we foster a community where every person is empowered to thrive, find stability, and contribute meaningfully to society.
Our approach is centered on three key pillars:
- Connection: We connect individuals to a network of essential resources, including housing assistance, job training, healthcare services, and legal aid. We go beyond simply providing information; we walk alongside them every step of the way, helping them navigate complex systems and overcome bureaucratic hurdles.
- Empowerment: We believe in the individual's strength and potential. We offer personalized case management, mentorship, and life skills workshops to equip them with the knowledge, confidence, and tools they need to make informed decisions and build a stable future.
- Advocacy: We advocate for systemic change that addresses the root causes of recidivism and incarceration. We work with policymakers and community partners to promote fair and equitable opportunities for re-entry and social mobility.
Through our comprehensive approach, we empower individuals to break free from cycles of struggle and build meaningful lives filled with dignity and purpose. We believe that by investing in second chances, we invest in stronger communities and brighter futures for all.
