We are so proud to announce that we’ve officially introduced PICS (Post Incarceration Syndrome) to our current class behind the wall!

This program is all about more than just a certificate; it’s about equipping our students with the mindset.

Seeing the level of engagement and the “aha!” moments in the room was incredibly inspiring.

A huge shoutout to our leadership team for making this possible! Program Director Patrice, for her tireless vision and coordination. Instructor Kevin, for his dedication to teaching and mentoring our students through this new material.

Often, families expect their loved ones to come home and immediately “be themselves” again. When they see withdrawal, anger, or paranoia, it can lead to confusion and conflict. Knowing about PICS shifts the perspective from “Why are they acting like this?” to “How can we help them heal from the trauma they endured?”

Next week is graduation, and these students are heading into it more prepared than ever!

Congratulation Time‼️

We are thrilled to announce that our Fresh Foundation housing program is back and we issued our first program participant with his move in costs‼️

Beyond this achievement, he has been doing exceptional work within the community. His commitment to showing up and contributing positively has not gone unnoticed, and seeing that effort translate into this tangible success is incredibly rewarding for everyone involved.

We are proud to support him as he settles into this next chapter and look forward to seeing his continued impact.

Big thanks to our Housing team and partnership with the Office of Returning Citizens‼️

Last night’s session on credit was a deep dive into the practical realities of managing financial health.

By working through live examples, we were able to peel back the curtain on how credit scores are actually calculated and how specific financial behaviors impact long-term goals.

We also tackled the critical topic of fraud, discussing the latest tactics used to compromise personal information and, more importantly, the proactive steps necessary to defend against them.

It was an empowering evening that turned abstract financial concepts into actionable strategies for protecting and building wealth.

True leadership isn’t just about leading the way; it’s about clearing the path for others.

We are incredibly proud of our co-founder, and Super Woman Patrice Alves, for being recognized by Mayor Michelle Wu as an ‘EXTRAordinary Woman.’ Her commitment to making Boston a world-class city through her brave and ambitious leadership continues to inspire everything we do.

Big thanks to the Mayor Wu, Office of Women’s Advancement and everyone behind the scenes who made this such a breathtaking event!

Congratulations to all the honorees! The

Each week, we’re serving heavy portions of brain food and soul food. Currently hitting Week 4 of My Successful Blueprint in the community and Week 5 behind the wall.

We’re breaking bread at the table while we learn exactly how to make it.

Huge congratulations to one of our own for receiving an award last night in recognition of his incredible success in reentry!

After diving into our lesson on taxes, we took a moment as a class to celebrate this milestone and the dedication it represents.

Seeing James reach these heights is a testament to the strength of our community and the bright futures ahead.

We couldn’t be prouder to see this hard work being honored!
