Be Part of the Ascent
Every roadmap to leadership is built by a community. Whether you give, mentor, or hire — you're helping transform personal redemption into collective progress.
Fund the journey from Day One
Your gift supports pre-release planning, vocational training, education enrollment, and reentry navigation for justice-impacted Delawareans. Donations fund people, not overhead — mentorship hours, training materials, transportation, and the stability supports that keep progress on track.
Online giving is coming soon. In the meantime, call 302-507-1145 or use our contact form to make a contribution or pledge.

Give time. Change a trajectory.
Our ecosystem of wholeness runs on people who show up. Volunteers serve in ways that match their gifts:
Mentors
Walk alongside a participant through reentry — consistent encouragement, accountability, and real-world guidance.
Instructors & Coaches
Share professional skills: résumé workshops, financial literacy, interview practice, trade skills, and leadership training.
Navigation Support
Help with the practical hurdles — transportation, paperwork, housing searches, and connections to local services.
Employers, educators, and community organizations
Partnership is how the continuum of care stays continuous. We work with organizations across Delaware and beyond:
Employers
Hire academy graduates who arrive trained, supported, and mentored — with our navigators backing their success after the start date.
Educational Institutions
Join our educational pipeline — enrollment pathways, credit for training, and wraparound support for justice-impacted students.
Community & Government
Collaborate on pre-release programming, housing navigation, and the systemic improvements that make reentry work at scale.
