About this organization
Mission
F5 Project believes what happens in one's past does not need to determine one's future. The mission of F5 Project is to provide opportunities, connections and empowerment to individuals with a challenging past. F5 Project focuses on helping individuals transition from incarceration to community and reducing recidivism. The basis of our work exists in our Five Pillars: Communication, Housing, Employment, Transportation and Healthy Socialization. Founded in 2016 by a former inmate, F5 Project helps to coordinate services and provide personal support in order to deter repeat offenses. After serving time and realizing the lack of services once released from prison, F5 Project's founder realized that if we as a society are unable to help break the cycle in an individual's life that led them to crime, we will fail. If we are able to provide continued support when they leave confinement, we have a greater chance of positively impacting a former inmate's life by leveling barriers. That benefits all of us, as well as the former offender. F5 Project starts the transition journey through contact while in confinement. Through discussion, motivation, and direct relationship building, inmates are introduced to F5 Project members… Commonly known as function keys on a computer keyboard, F1 through F12 may have a variety of different uses but F5 is special to us for one reason… F5 is the refresh key. No matter what data you have on your computer screen, when you hit F5 it all deletes. This is really what any person with a background wants, to start over, clean, refresh. We help make that happen from our approach, and its also happens to be how many felonies the founder of F5 Project had when he started is journey to success. We believe this is what differentiates F5 Project from other companies “we have been in their shoes" approach will always win out in any scenario.
