Choose to Change

Your past does not define your future.

For Steven Cruz, helping others is about believing in second chances and reminding people that change is always possible.

At Choose to Change Foundation, this is why we do what we do. We believe everyone deserves encouragement, support, and the opportunity to build a better future, no matter their past.

Every new day is another opportunity to grow, overcome challenges, and begin a new chapter.

One choice. One step. One life changed at a TIME. ❤️

We’re grateful to have Mayor Omar Ochoa stand with Choose to Change and advocate for the work we’re doing in our community.

Support like this helps us continue walking alongside individuals and families affected by incarceration, addiction, and broken relationships, reminding them that their past does not have to define their future.

Join us on October 22 for the Choose to Change Gala as we come together to support this mission and continue believing in what’s possible when a community chooses to care.

Ninety days ago, these men made a choice...

They walked out of prison or rehab with nothing guaranteed, and they put in the work. The meetings. The mentoring. Showing up when nobody was watching. Now they are graduates of our 90 Day Re-entry Mentoring Program, and we could not be more proud.

Swipe through and see what change looks like. Real people. Real progress. Families getting their people back.

This program runs because people like you believe in it.
