Pathway to Kinship

“Pathway To Kinship is an oasis for people like me who have been locked up in a cage for decades and want to come home.”

What we do

Pathway To Kinship empowers people to get free and stay free. Our mission extends beyond nurturing individual success; we foster safer communities and facilitate the reunification of families to build a foundation for lasting change.

Our story

Across the U.S., over 10,000 individuals leave prison each week. After years or decades of incarceration, they are often released without the support, training, or resources necessary to be successful in life after prison. We are working to change that.

Having worked with over 2,500 incarcerated men and women, Pathway To Kinship partners with re-entry programs across the country to provide former inmates and their families with the skills for personal and professional development.

Rebuilding Futures

Today, 7 million Americans grapple with the reality of having an immediate family member behind bars.

Pathway To Kinship is dedicated to restoring their hope by providing access to housing, education, and employment to the formerly incarcerated, in support of a kinder re-entry.

Employment

Finding employment post-incarceration is a road riddled with obstacles. Our program enables incarcerated citizens to reach the resources they need to build their careers. As a result, Pathway To Kinship Alumni have been successful in setting and achieving goals such as pursuing higher education, training as computer coders, joining trade unions, becoming contractors, serving as drug and alcohol counselors, working with Transitional Age Youth programs, and even creating their own re-entry and support organizations.

Rehabilitation

Across eight California State Prisons, our Critical Insight Course takes a holistic approach to prepare incarcerated citizens for re-entry into the community. The 7 Keys Curriculum helps incarcerated citizens identify, accept and work through the contributing and causative factors behind their crimes. Through increased self-awareness, these individuals become re-entry ready, equipped with the coping skills necessary for successful community reintegration.

Education

Incarceration leads to missed opportunities in both educational and professional development. Pathway to Kinship now offers the first Professional Reentry Coach Certification Program. This course fully prepares returning citizens with the skills and knowledge to become gainfully employed upon release.

The Power of Second Chances

Our non-profit is dedicated to redefining the journey for previously justice impacted individuals through training and employment opportunities. This video gives you an inside look at the transformative impact your support can make. Every step taken is a step closer to a life renewed, offering hope, growth, and a sense of belonging. Embrace the power of change.
