Your Programs.
A2E is not another program to run — it’s the system underneath the ones you already have.
I Was Where You Are.
Now I’m Here to Get You Where I Am.
“We both walked out of prison. We built A2E so no one has to face that first day out alone.”
Terrence — The day I walked out after 29 years, I felt fear and relief all at once. I’d given away everything I owned to the men still inside. But I didn’t come home to nothing — I came home through a program that handed me a path while I was still locked up. Too many walk out with none of that. That’s who this is for.
RonnAnita — People forget that women go to prison too. I did. When I came home, the world had moved on without me — I didn’t know what Uber was, or how to work a smartphone. So hear me: you are not dumb. It’s okay to not know, and to take one step at a time. When I was overwhelmed, it would have meant everything to have someone who’d been where I’d been just sit with me — that’s what A2E is.
Because someone did this for us — and now it’s your turn.

No cost to the participant
Programs are funded by partner institutions through workforce, education, and community investment sources — including WIOA, Perkins V, and CRA-aligned bank sponsorship. Participants are not charged for A2E programming.
As the Houston cohort returns data, real outcomes will be published here — sourced and verified. We don’t invent numbers.
Fall 2026 Cohort Goals.
The system is built. This cohort proves it — alongside partners who want the outcome data as much as we do.
Stronger Together.
Partner with A2E to transform lives and strengthen the communities you already serve — with talent, programming, and outcomes you can measure.

Employers who hire qualifying individuals may be eligible for the federal Work Opportunity Tax Credit. Credit amounts vary by target group and hours worked, and certification is determined by your state workforce agency. A2E provides education, not tax advice.
