CREATING RESTORATIVE OPPORTUNITIES AND PROGRAMS

WE ENVISION A SOCIETY THAT INVESTS IN PEOPLE OVER PUNISHMENT

CROP provides formerly incarcerated individuals with full-service reentry support and 12 months of intensive training to succeed in tech‑focused careers.

OUR VALUES

  • Centering the voices and leadership of people with lived experience, with full understanding that those directly impacted by the problem are best suited to provide the most inclusive and effective solutions.

  • Having someone else's pain in our heart, and work driven by an ethos that all individuals’ voices and lived experiences matter, while lifting those who have been silenced and most marginalized.

  • Owning 100% of our contribution to every outcome in our life and recognizing that personal agency and accountability are responsible for the results we give and receive to ourselves and to others.

  • Exercising equity and opportunity for all people, working and advocating to ensure a fair and impartial system of justice and to end individual, collective, and systemic oppression so all people have equal opportunity to thrive.

OUR MISSION

To reimagine reentry through a holistic, human‑centered approach to advocacy, housing, and skill development for the future of work.

CROP IN THE NEWS

Ready 4 life

Ready 4 Life is CROP’s signature reentry program that equips justice-involved people with the tools they need for success in a tech-focused career.

Designed by formerly incarcerated leaders, this twelve-month career development program includes case management, participant stipends, and holistic wraparound care. Participants in the Bay Area will be placed in supportive housing at our flagship campus.

I am a driven individual who fearlessly took a leap into the exciting world of tech sales, with a passion for the ever-evolving tech industry.
