Pentorship is an organization with a mission rooted in providing incarcerated, and formerly incarcerated people access to programs that promote entrepreneurial thinking, innovation, and personal development. Today, the organization acts as a private foundation whose primary focus is to support the alumni of its former programs and the returning citizens community at large.

 

“ReINVENT THE WILL” GRANT Program

Our goal at Pentorship is to “Reinvent The Will”. We believe returning citizens deserve an opportunity to change the outcome and trajectories of their lives with dignity. The “Reinvent The Will” mini-grant was established in 2019 to support individuals with a small investment that can be used towards their professional development endeavors as they reestablish their new lives.
