About Us
Coming home is just the beginning.
The road to rebuilding a life can feel overwhelming, but no one should have to walk it alone.
At Project Hope CA, we walk alongside people coming home from incarceration, offering mentorship, community, and pathways to meaningful careers — because everyone deserves to build a future on their own terms.

"When I first got out (from incarceration), I had nowhere to go and felt hopeless. I couldn’t find work with a record. But Project Hope accepted me and walked me through the whole process. Thanks to them, I now have my high school diploma and a steady job. I also start college in a few months. Everyone who’s rebuilding their life after incarceration needs a program like Project Hope."
