About PEP
PEP delivers results at the intersection of restorative justice reform and economic mobility. Our Survive to Thrive model combines intensive character development, business training, entrepreneurial support, mentorship and transitional support to produce successful business owners, outperforming employees and good neighbors. Throughout our 20-year history, PEP has served participants representing racially diverse backgrounds consistent with that of the prison population.
PEP is recognized by Arthur Brooks of the American Enterprise Institute as a catalytic force in the prison re-entry reform movement, building “start-up lives” that contribute to a healthy society.
PEP unites executives and inmates through entrepreneurial passion and servant leadership to transform lives, restore families and rebuild communities.
PEP has been at the intersection of justice reform and economic opportunity for 19 years. We are making a difference across racial lines and taking people who have perpetually been in a cycle of crime and poverty and ushering them into a solid middle-class existence; The type of people who will make great neighbors and have a positive impact on their communities.
