The CROP Organization was founded while our leadership team was incarcerated within the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR).
Faced with the unique challenges presented by an antisocial and self-destructive prison environment, our team created programs that helped transform the culture into something truly restorative. It was through this new framework of possibility that we invited incarcerated men to begin supporting the best in each other rather than the worst.
Throughout the years spent inside the CDCR, our team successfully trained hundreds of people in personal leadership development and created an Alcohol and Other Drug training program.
With our team back in the community, CROP brings innovative programs to scale and has established a blueprint for successful reentry.
