Who We are

Changes By Choice is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing workforce development, mentoring, counseling, and life skills training to women who have experienced incarceration. Our program aims to assist these women in their reentry into the community and to reduce recidivism.

Our Vision

We envision a world where every woman, regardless of her past, has the opportunity to reintegrate into society with dignity and purpose. We believe that incarceration does not define a person; rather, it is a part of their journey. By focusing on the power of choice, we help women reclaim their narratives and build a brighter future.

Our Values

• Empowerment: We believe in empowering women to take charge of their lives. Our programs are designed to foster independence, self-esteem, and confidence, enabling participants to make informed decisions about their futures.
• Compassion: Understanding the complex challenges faced by women who have experienced incarceration is at the heart of our work. We approach each individual with empathy and respect, recognizing their unique experiences and strengths.
• Collaboration: We understand that teamwork makes a difference. Our partnerships with local businesses, community organizations, and volunteers enhance our ability to provide comprehensive support and resources to the women we serve.
• Integrity: We are committed to transparency and accountability in all our operations. Our focus is on creating impactful programs that truly serve the needs of our participants, and we continuously strive to improve and innovate our services.

Our Approach

Changes By Choice employs a holistic approach to support women in their reentry journey. We recognize that successful reintegration involves not only finding employment but also addressing emotional, social, and practical challenges. Our comprehensive programs are designed to meet these multifaceted needs, ensuring that each participant receives personalized support tailored to her unique situation.

Our Commitment to Continuous Improvement

We are dedicated to staying informed about best practices in workforce development and social reintegration. Our team actively engages in ongoing training and professional development to ensure that we are providing the most effective services possible. We also prioritize gathering feedback from participants to understand their experiences and adapt our programs accordingly.

A Community of Change

At Changes By Choice, we believe in the power of community. We create a supportive environment where women can connect with one another, share their stories, and build lasting relationships. Our programs not only focus on individual growth but also foster a sense of belonging and solidarity among participants, encouraging them to support each other in their journeys.
