Mission: 

H.I.R.E.'s mission is to maximize the skills and opportunities for formerly incarcerated and system-impacted youth and adults in Orange County through employment, mentorship and community building. 

 

Vision: 

We envision a unified Orange County where gaps in social, political, and economic opportunities are eliminated for formerly incarcerated and system-impacted youth and adults. 

How: 

To realize the promise of our mission, we are committed to the following principles: 

- Connect and unite Orange County stakeholders to support the reintegration of formerly incarcerated community members

- Use research informed and data driven strategies grounded in equity, and justice.

- Lift the voices of formerly incarcerated and system-impacted people
