A reentry academy for young men ages 18–24, rooted in healing, housing, and hope.
IRF is a trauma-informed reentry academy offering housing, therapy, job training, and lifelong support. We believe every young man deserves a second chance—and a seat at the table.
Our foundation is built on understanding that true transformation begins with healing. Through comprehensive recovery support, we address trauma, build resilience, and create pathways to lasting change.
We create more than programs—we build family. Our approach includes annual IRF Galas, graduation ceremonies, and family-style meals involving volunteers, donors, partner organizations, and participants. We focus on natural supports, meaningful connections, and a community that stands together through every step of the journey.
Every individual has unlimited potential. Through education, skill development, and mentorship, we empower our members to discover their strengths and build sustainable futures.
Success is a community effort. We've built a powerful network of partners, volunteers, and alumni who work together to create opportunities and support lasting transformation.
