Our Mission & Our Vision

Our Mission: JPC creates a just, non-violent community, striving to strengthen individuals and families seeking re-entry into society. We believe in and support the rights of all people affected by the criminal justice system and promote systemic changes that empower and inspire.  We provide person-centered, evidence-based, collaborative services. We advocate for positive change through mentorship, education, financial assistance, and other forms of advocacy.

Our Vision: JPC envisions a transformed society, where formerly incarcerated community members are no longer marginalized and stigmatized and feel empowered to lead fulfilling lives.  

Our collaborative relationships with organizations and faith-based groups, including being collocated in the heart of the city and sharing resources, will result in seamless service delivery for the individuals and families we serve.

JPC will be the first point of contact for those involved in the criminal justice system. As we work to find alternatives to incarceration, we envision a community that will trust our work with those reentering society.

The value of investing in our work will be well recognized by foundations, corporations, government agencies, and community members. These funding partners fully support urban communities and those who have been marginalized by society.

Community transformation will be the result of our work. Jails will be repurposed for education and job training. Institutional systems designed to keep communities of color poor and underserved will no longer exist. Previously marginalized and stigmatized community members will feel empowered to lead fulfilling lives. Long overdue, hope and a sense of belonging will be restored
