2,225


Some numbers take a bit to sink in.

2,225

2,225: Inmates in prison serving life without parole for crimes committed as minors

73 of them committed the crime at 13 or 14 years of age

That is 44.5 per state

Imagine - 44 young people serving life without parole from your state.

...

Our young people desperately need TRANSFORMATIONAL coaches.

What if these 2,225 had a coach who mentored them intentionally and specifically to be a more virtuous young man or young woman?

Thank you for coaching! Thank you for giving your life, time, energy and talent to such a needed and noble endeavor.

We need you to continue, to strive harder, to strive together.
