Our Initiative
Returning Youth Initiative, Inc., (a 501(c)(3) charity organization) provides post-incarcerated and high-risk young adults with a pathway to be re-integrated into society, pursuing a new and productive life after being released from incarceration. They learn life skills; gain employment; pursue long-term education; remain out of a life of crime, and lead a rewarding life. This mission is being accomplished by local initiative chapters and further assisted through partnerships with community-based organizations, DA’s offices, law enforcement, local townships, and the court systems.
