Protecting Peace. Restoring Power. Rebuilding Lives.

Supporting returning citizens with financial literacy, emotional wellness, and real pathways to stability.

Beyond The Gates

Storytelling Platform

We amplify the voices of returning citizens through interviews, written stories, and multimedia content that challenges stereotypes and humanizes the reentry experience. Your story matters, and the world needs to hear it.

Advocacy & Visibility

Beyond the Gates serves as a powerful advocacy tool, bringing decision-makers, community members, and supporters face-to-face with the realities of reentry. We create space for authentic dialogue and systemic change.

Community Connection

Through shared narratives, we build solidarity among returning citizens and their families. You're not alone in this journey—and Beyond the Gates proves it by connecting people with similar experiences and shared hopes.

This program is about more than visibility—it's about reclaiming narrative power. For too long, stories about incarceration and reentry have been told by people who've never lived it. Beyond the Gates shifts that dynamic, centering the expertise, resilience, and humanity of those who know the journey firsthand. Whether you're ready to share your story or simply want to hear from others walking a similar path, this space is for you.
