Our mission is to bring people from all ends of the community together, from the inside out, to believe in the self-actualization of Breakthrough participants and the opportunity to shift the system. Our vision is to build a dependable community of trust, awareness, and belonging where all are worthy of humanity. Our values are: Responsibility – We never back down from the difficult or ignore mistakes. Inclusivity – We accept people as they are — all humans are worthy of humanity. Optimism – We have a radical hope for tomorrow. Empathy – Our empathy is audacious, courageous, bold, and relentless. We are open to ideas that challenge our worldview.

Breakthrough Alliance of Colorado is a 501c3 non-profit organization that prides itself in transforming the lives of people with criminal histories and the community’s perception of the incarcerated population. Our holistic approach includes an in-facility career education program, community engagement, reentry support, a fair opportunity hiring program, and criminal justice advocacy initiatives. We believe that humans are more than their past. We believe in the power of change. Through compassion, connection, and community, we rebuild people’s lives and ultimately help them reintegrate into society—all while challenging outdated perceptions to reform how our country defines criminal justice.
