BEYOND BARS
Empowering Felons Through Entrepreneurship
Business Beyond Bars is a nonprofit organization committed to breaking the cycle of incarceration by unlocking the power of entrepreneurship. Our mission is to equip formerly incarcerated individuals with the tools, training, and mentorship they need to build sustainable businesses and successful futures.
We believe in second chances and more importantly, in the potential of every individual to rise above their circumstances. At Business Beyond Bars, we don't just teach entrepreneurship; we help rebuild lives, strengthen communities, and create lasting economic impact.
Join us in creating a future where barriers are replaced with bridges and justice-involved individuals are seen for their potential, not just their past.
