Jo’Vaun came home ready to get to work.

He had a plan from the beginning: find employment, build stability, and work toward a place of his own. And he has been following through.

Jo’Vaun is now working consistently, making a commute that once took nearly three hours, and actively searching for an apartment to call home. A bike from Wheels for Workers has helped cut that commute in half, giving him back valuable time while he keeps working toward what comes next.

From finding work to navigating transportation to taking the next steps toward independent housing, Jo’Vaun has stayed focused and kept moving forward.

We’re proud to celebrate the progress he’s made—and the determination behind every part of it.

"Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start."

On National Positive Thinking Day, we celebrate the power of hope, resilience, and believing in what's possible.

At Peaceprints, we work alongside individuals and families navigating the reentry journey, helping turn obstacles into opportunities and setbacks into comebacks. Positive thinking doesn't change the past, but it can help shape a brighter future.

“Strengthening Communities by Rebuilding Lives” means recognizing that one person’s incarceration and reentry can affect an entire family.

Our Project Blue team works directly with justice-impacted individuals as they prepare for release and build stability in the community. Along the way, they also become resources for the people who love them: helping families understand what comes next, navigate unfamiliar systems, communicate, problem-solve, and support someone through a major transition.

This message from the mother of a Project Blue client meant a great deal to us because it captures that wider impact that her son's Transition Coordinator, Stephanie made on the family.

A second chance may belong to one person, but the support surrounding that second chance can strengthen a whole family—and, from there, a whole community.

That is what we mean when we say: Strengthening Communities by Rebuilding Lives.

At Peaceprints, we believe everyone belongs. 💙

Pineapple on pizza, however? That’s where our commitment to radical inclusion starts to get a little shaky. 🍍🍕

"Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope." — Kofi Annan

Literacy has the power to educate, inspire, and connect families, even across distance.

Through Peaceprints' annual Holiday Book Reading Program, incarcerated parents record themselves reading a book of their choice and send the recording home as a special gift. Each year, more than 100 children experience the comfort of hearing a parent's voice and the joy of sharing a story together.

Because literacy is more than learning to read. It's connection, love, and hope shared one story at a time.

Happy National Read a Book Day!

At Peaceprints, books do more than tell stories. They help families stay connected.

Each year through our Holiday Book Reading Program, incarcerated parents choose a book, record themselves reading it aloud, and send the recording and book home as a special gift to their child.

For more than 100 children annually, these recordings provide comfort, connection, and a reminder that even when separated by distance, a parent's love can still be heard.

Because every child deserves a bedtime story.
