Our mission is to focus on training necessary to successfully transition into society via positive relationship-building, restorative justice practices and individualized well-being services. Through innovative programming, IBIU helps ex-offenders reshape their lives, reach their goals, and make successful transition from prison into community life.
In addition, our programs are open to all military veterans and homeless persons.
