Rebuilding Lives. Restoring Dignity. Reforming the System.

Welcome to Sidre

At Sidre, we believe every person deserves a second chance and the tools to make it count.

We serve justice-involved men and women as they take the hardest step of all: building a new life after incarceration. Through business education, career training, mentorship, and a safe online community, we provide the practical support needed to move forward with dignity, stability, and confidence.

But our vision goes further. We are working toward a future where education, employment, mentorship, and safe housing come together to break the cycle of incarceration. Over the next decade, Sidre will empower 250,000 people to create sustainable futures for themselves and help cut repeat incarceration in half.

What’s with the Name?

Sidre, Cidre, or Cider; however you spell it, the meaning is the same: creating value where others see none.

Historically, orchard harvesters chose only the best fruit for market. The bruised, broken, and damaged fruit was cast aside. Then someone saw its potential. That “worthless” fruit was transformed into something new, useful, and valuable: sidre.

We carry the same belief into our work. Sidre exists to help those who have been bruised, broken, or pushed aside by society rediscover their value, build a new future, and know they are worthy of purpose and hope.

If you are here to rebuild, you’re not alone. If you are here to support, you are part of a growing movement that believes in redemption, growth, and the power of community.
