Since 2018, Between The Lines has worked to bridge the gap between incarceration and the community. Our journey began with a simple but powerful realization: those within the justice system are often silenced, their lives reduced to statistics. We launched our organization to give a definitive voice to the incarcerated population, utilizing our massive digital platform to share authentic narratives that restore dignity and humanize the justice-impacted experience. By changing how society views those behind walls, we foster the empathy and respect necessary for true second chances to take root.

We believe that the love of sport is a universal language capable of driving profound social change. We use athletics as a bridge to build trust, discipline, and resilience among at-risk youth and individuals navigating the journey home. This connection allows us to provide deep, relatable mentorship that guides people through the difficult transition back into society. By fostering the values of teamwork and accountability on the court, we prepare our participants to become leaders in their own neighborhoods, proving that the lessons learned through competition are the same ones required for a stable and successful life.

Ultimately, our purpose is to break the cycle of recidivism by providing a clear path to independence and economic stability. We pair our mentorship and storytelling with direct access to career opportunities, ensuring that those who have been impacted by the system have the tools they need to build a new legacy. At Between The Lines, we aren't just helping people navigate re-entry; we are helping them find their purpose and a permanent place in the workforce. We stand as a community of support, proving that with the right guidance, a person's past does not define their future.
