A successful re-entry begins inside correctional facilities and is dependent upon a community ready to foster a productive return. Breakthrough takes a holistic approach to community and person, and our in-facility program focuses on character development, career readiness, reentry planning, and the entrepreneurial mindset, providing an opportunity for holistic growth.
Our goal is to be a part of the solution to help stop the increase of recidivism and unemployment rates in our communities.Â

Breakthrough deeply values the lived experiences of our team members, particularly those directly or indirectly impacted by the criminal legal system. This unique perspective, combined with their expertise in social work, psychology, social justice, mental health first aid, and motivational interviewing, allows us to effectively deliver our programs and reentry services. We prioritize data collection and feedback to continuously improve our offerings, ensuring they meet the specific needs of our participants and support their successful reintegration into society.
Through compassion, connection, and community, Breakthrough helps rebuild people’s lives and reintegrate into society. The impact our program has on individual lives is seen clearly during our volunteer events, where participants interact with and receive feedback from community members. Take a moment to explore our annual reports to see more of the impact the Breakthrough program has on participants and our communities.
