Real change starts with conversation.

This year, F5 Project partnered with Fargo Cass Public Health to bring to***co prevention and cessation education directly into recovery and reentry spaces.

Together, we created opportunities for meaningful conversations around to***co use, health, culture, and healing—especially within justice-involved communities.

Some of the impact:
• 583 people served
• 44% → 91% increase in understanding of cultural vs. commercial to***co
• 97% knew where to access support after education
• 53% reported greater readiness to pursue cessation resources

We’re proud of the impact—and even more grateful for the people willing to engage in these conversations.

A successful transition doesn’t start at release—it starts with a relationship.

One young adult we’ve supported recently returned home after spending over a year at Youth Correction Center. Like many transitions, this one has come with challenges.

So, what makes the difference? Trust.

Because of the relationships built with our team, he and his family felt comfortable reaching out and being honest about what they’re facing.

That trust allows us to help early and provide support during one of life’s most critical transitions.

This is why we do what we do. ❤️

Yesterday was Election Day, and at F5 Project, we celebrated something powerful: several participants voted for the first time ever, while others voted for the first time in many years.

North Dakota is one of the states that allows individuals with criminal records to vote, and yesterday we witnessed firsthand how meaningful that opportunity can be. Voting is more than casting a ballot - it is a reminder that every voice matters and that everyone has a role in shaping their community.

Sometimes the best employee for the job isn’t the one with the straightest path… it’s the one who learned how to keep going when the path wasn’t straight at all.
