Celebrate Hope and Transformation at The Journey Forward

Join us for The Journey Forward: A Night of Hope and Transformation—our annual celebration of second chances, new beginnings, and the power of community.

This year’s event is inspired by the Summer Solstice, a symbol of light, renewal, and growth. Just as the longest day of the year marks a shift toward brighter days, Journey to New Life represents a turning point for individuals rebuilding their lives after incarceration.

Experience an unforgettable evening featuring a live and silent auction, delicious food and drink, and a mesmerizing fire performance by Jason D’Vaude.

Come celebrate with us—honoring the progress we’ve made and the hope we carry forward together!
