Giving A Hand Up,
Not A Handout.
Truly Reaching You (TRY) is a relationship-based reentry ministry serving men who have “done their time” and are ready to return to family and community.
TRY provides a healthy support system and invaluable employment training for those willing to surrender old lifestyles -- and to put in the work needed to gain self-respect and a renewed outlook on life.

Work for Hire
Lack of financial resources is a primary cause of recidivism, or relapse into criminal behavior. Men served by Truly Reaching You lack the work history and skill sets needed to find -- and keep -- jobs that will support themselves or their families, and ultimately enable them to make a successful transition.
TRY provides the means for financial self-sufficiency through its Employment Skills Training Program, offering men served hands-on training in four high-demand work fields: Lawncare & Landscaping, Commercial Cleaning, Housing Rehab & Construction, and Hauling & Manual Labor.
Simultaneously, the program provides the entire community - business owners, local government, nonprofit organizations, churches, and residential home owners - with high-quality, competitively priced services and provides TRY with a growing source of income to support its reentry work.
