Mission Statement
Turning Leaf Project is dedicated to building a healthier and safer community by providing education and support to those impacted by incarceration on their path to becoming positive and contributing members of society. Founded in principles of community service and restorative justice, Turning Leaf Project teaches inmates the skill set they need to change negative behaviors and avoid further contact with the criminal justice system. We believe that successful reentry is viitally important to the well-being and quality of life of all community members, not only offenders and their families.
