Approach
Our mission is to dismantle the poverty to prison cycle by creating an alternative approach to prison—
one focused on building lives and bettering communities.
The Idea is Simple
Instead of serving time in a dehumanizing prison environment, a sentenced young adult lives at a Reset campus, focused entirely on academics, career, and healthy living. We create a positive, 24/7 environment that supports a whole student’s learning and growth.
At full scale, Reset campuses are designed to cost no more per student per year as prison. We partner with local and state governments to serve students using diverted funding that would have paid for their incarceration.
Our Pillars
Young people live in a positive campus learning environment while engaging in Reset’s five program pillars.
RELATIONSHIPS
We create a family-like community where students build strong, positive relationships with staff, community members, and one another.
EDUCATION
We offer a personalized, engaging, project-based academic program that looks dramatically different from a traditional educational model.
