Meet our Staff

At T.O.N.E. U.P., our team is made up of employees and volunteers—people who know the work—because many of us have lived it.

We are justice-impacted individuals, educators, advocates, strategists, and organizers who believe that reentry should come with dignity, direction, and real support. Some of us have served time. Some of us have family members who have. All of us are committed to rebuilding systems that make room for second chances and long-term success.

Our leadership is made up of people who have overcome the very barriers we work to eliminate: incarceration, separation from family, poverty, and systemic injustice. And our staff brings a deep understanding of what it means to walk alongside someone who’s starting over—whether they’re just returning home, navigating legal barriers, or simply trying to find stable ground.

We don’t just talk about change. We build it—one person, one policy, one program at a time. Meet the people making that happen every day at T.O.N.E. U.P.
