Our Program
One Program. Three Stages.
Through our unique three stage program, we give hope to incarcerated individuals for a better tomorrow and help employers explore second chance hiring with confidence.
Stage 1
Educate
Taught while in prison, our Virtues for Success™ class teaches students to harness the virtues of Wisdom, Courage, Self-control, and Justice. These four virtues help develop better logic and reasoning skills beneficial not just for landing a job (and keeping it), but for living a better life! This method stands in contrast to other training models that focus solely on right or wrong actions without examining the inner faculties that produce them.
Stage 2
Advocate
After graduating from Virtues for Success™ and undergoing a review process, an inmate may be accepted into the Inmate Advocacy Program™. By reaching this milestone in the program they become a TRP Fellow. The Redemption Project then helps connect the Fellow to an Employment Partner to begin a mentoring relationship to build the professional trust necessary to secure a job offer.
Stage 3
Support
Built on a relationship of trust, TRP Advantage is the third and final stage of our program. Our Fellows have worked hard to reach this stage, but leaving the security of the prison walls and its daily routine can be a challenging transition.
As a TRP Fellow reenters society and begins employment with their Employment Partner, the Fellow may need assistance with issues like transportation, housing, and education. Although The Redemption Project’s mission focuses on the employment process, we have strategic relationships with other organizations that can assist with these reentry issues. The Redemption Project will be there to bridge this gap between incarceration and life after prison.
