The Orange County Collaborative Courts are among the best in the nation and the world.  Combat veterans, at-risk teens, victims of mental illness, and those on the run from abusive homes are assisted in finding jobs, restoring family relationships and assuming positions as productive members of society.  Armed with discipline, self-confidence, and valuable life skills, these people rise.

In 2018 alone, Orange County realized savings of more than $11.2 million dollars by providing life-changing alternatives instead of incarceration.  The reward is knowing that the results are measured not only in dollars, but in lives transformed.  These programs save money, save lives and make our communities safer.

At the Foundation, we help program participants break the cycle of incarceration and re-arrest.  We open the eyes of men, women, and youthful offenders to the kind of life that could be theirs.  Armed with awareness, tools, and skills, the idea of a better life becomes more than a dream; it becomes a viable reality.  Program participants must work hard. They learn how to take control. They see that the future is in their own hands.  Our goal is to help them grasp it.
