Your past does not determine your future
Breaking the cycle through opportunity
Our mission is to empower individuals impacted by the justice system to lead successful lives and strengthen communities. We envision a society without barriers that values all people and provides equal access to opportunities.
Arouet is a non-profit empowering women and families impacted by the justice system to build strong communities. We help participants prepare for re-entry, gain meaningful employment, receive financial resources, and create a solid foundation for their lives.

Our programs
Preparation
Our re-entry support programs within prisons prepare women for their transition so they have the key information they need on day one.
Release
We help women through their release by providing them with their basic needs such as rides, clothes, housing, and peer support.
Ongoing support
Our Opportunity Center provides wrap-around services to help with employment, financial security, and income support.
Engagement
Our participants become advocates by sharing their stories of success to build awareness around second chance needs.
In 2024, we have worked with our largest number of participants ever both inside prison and within our communities.
Our participants come home and stay home at a drastically larger rate versus the average 3-year recidivism rate of 39%.
The vast majority of our participants secure employment that brings in new income so they can build their future.
