The Transformative Power of Project 180: March 8 & October 11

At this time, tickets for the October 11th premiere of "The Light They Cast" are only available by purchasing tickets to both events. Single tickets and Tables of Eight will be available shortly. If you have any questions, please reach out to [email protected].

Join us as members of the Project 180 Family share their processes of internal and external change during their tenure in our Residential Program.

A person’s reentry into the community after incarceration is a community event as well as an individual experience. When reentry goes well, the community gains a hard worker, taxpayer, and responsible parent. The transformation from lawbreaker to law-abiding citizen requires having the will and desire to change, but most reentrants don’t know how. Project 180 assists with patience, knowledge, and resources and, over time, as will, desire, knowledge, and means coalesce to become one’s foundation, the magic of transformation occurs.

A resident once said, "It's been a long road. I became an IV drug user when I was twelve years old. That's all I know. That, and I know how to live behind bars. Project 180 is the place that taught me how to not do that anymore." Project 180 provides the advocacy, direction, and support reentering citizens need as they learn how to transform their thinking, behavior, and the course of their lives.

Join us for the premiere of “The Light They Cast,” a documentary film about the men of Project 180's Residential Program.

“The Light They Cast” is the powerful story of nine men and their inspiring journey on the road to recovery as they navigate the realities of prisoner reentry. Through raw and personal accounts, they reveal some of their darkest moments measured against how far they’ve come with the love and support of Project 180.

From their first week out to celebrating milestones of sobriety, employment, and even marriage, they highlight the importance of having someone believe in you until you can believe in yourself. Courageous, vulnerable, and determined to unlock their potential, the men of Project 180 are nothing short of inspirational.
