The Solid Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established to provide job readiness, business start-up, educational, and life coaching to people in transition from prison to the community. TSFI supports two programs directed at providing programs directed at providing trauma-informed care and services to returning citizens, and children impacted by poverty, homelessness, incarceration and domestic violence with OASIS Teach a man to fish, STAR RISE and CHIP. OASIS Teach a man to fish employs "returning citizens,"(aka formerly incarcerated individuals or people in transition) to help them retain their freed by helping them start up a business or find a good job with companies who have community awareness, and a desire to help the marginalized. We also work with other resourceful companies to provide housing, transportation, education, and life coaching services for Returning Citizens. The goal is to reduce prison recidivism and produce law-abiding tax-paying citizens. STAR- RISE Seven Tenets of Achievement and Recovery Recognition of Inspiration, Success, And Excellence. "Train up a child and in time they will shine." The purpose of STAR RISE program is to foster the growth of string, resilient, optimistic and confident children who are impacted by poverty, homelessness, the incarceration of loved one, domestic violence in Prince George's County area. We educated and equip formerly incarcerated, homeless, veteran, and poverty stricken parents who are facing challenges and barriers in parenting their children
CHIP The Children of Incarcerated Parents mentoring program exists to serve in Prince George's County who have an incarcerated parent. After being referred, children are matched with a trained volunteer mentor from the community. Over time, the mentor and mentee build a positive, consistent, and caring friendship. We have fundraisers and initiatives throughout the year which we would love for the community to participate to help us reach our service goals. Per quarter the goal is to raise $10,000. Our Board of Directors and Advisory also contribute by paying monthly dues.
