🎙️ Beyond Bars: From Broadway to Prison Reentry

Our Executive Director, Marc Vahanian, was recently featured on the Alive.Again. Podcast with Andreea Parc and Alexa Dumitru.

In this powerful conversation, Marc shares his journey from Broadway to founding Pathway to Kinship — now delivering trauma-informed rehabilitation and reentry programming in 10 California State Prisons, with tablet-based courses reaching individuals nationwide.

The episode explores shame and institutionalization, inner rehabilitation, restorative justice, reentry challenges, and our “Seven Keys” framework for lasting transformation.

If you care about second chances, prison reform, and rebuilding lives, this conversation offers both insight and hope.

💛 We’re taking a moment to reflect with deep gratitude.

The impact we continue to make is only possible because of the belief and partnership of our community, funders, and supporters who stand with us in second chances and restorative justice.

Together, we are building something lasting—supporting individuals inside prison, throughout reentry, and as they rebuild their lives in the community.

We are proud of our participants, our dedicated team of Second Chancers, and the trust we’ve built with families, institutions, and partners across California. Every step forward represents accountability, healing, and hope in action.

As we look ahead, Pathway to Kinship remains committed to expanding trauma-informed programs that strengthen families, promote safety, and create real pathways to dignity and opportunity.

Thank you for walking this journey with us. The best is yet to come.

Get Free. Stay Free & Thrive.
