Our mission
Through our national coalition of directly impacted leaders and strong allies. We confront stereotypes by uplifting justice impacted leaders, providing peer support, leadership development, encouraging healing and healthy choices, expanding opportunities for community involvement, and amplifying positive news.
About Us
The Uplift is a 501(c)(3) providing community and leadership opportunities to people with criminal-legal involvement by people with prior criminal-legal involvement. Our mission centers those with lived experience in all areas of our leadership and our work. We live by the motto's "Nothing About Us Without Us" and "Together We Rise!"
Get Involved!
We work hard to be a resource for people and businesses in the community who have been impacted by the criminal-legal system. We also know the power of female leadership and are dedicating to cultivating and providing a safe space for meaningful relationships to grow.
