My Way Out
Mission
To empower and enrich the lives of justice-impacted individuals, by bringing together community resources, supportive service providers, and employers. By reducing recidivism, building strong communities, and keeping families together, we will help bring hope and prosperity to marginalized communities.
Aligned Work
My Way Out assists individuals involved in the justice system through their Building the Path to Success pre-release cohort program. This program intervenes at the earliest possible point by providing structured pre-release preparation in essential job-readiness skills, financial literacy, digital literacy for job applications, mock interviewing prep, and sustained post-release wraparound services including access to housing. Upon release, individuals are assigned to Reentry Support Partners (RSPs) with lived experience and training to provide one on one support. (Reducing Barriers to Employment & Advancement)
My Way Out provides coordinated housing placement and wraparound support services for justice-impacted participants with children returning to their families from incarceration. Wraparound supportive services include case management, life coaching, transportation assistance, and emergency household needs such as stoves, refrigerators, or furniture when participants transition into new units. Each participant receives individualized support that connects them to employment opportunities, mental health services, and community networks. (Safe and Stable Homes)
My Way Out brings digital skills training to justice-impacted adults. Small group 4-week cohort based digital skills training sessions are paced to support individuals returning from long term incarceration with limited or no recent technology exposure. Instruction provides hands on practice and real-world application to support confident real-world readiness to use digital tools independently. (Techquity)
