CO-PARENTING IKIGAI
Our Vision
Our vision is a world where families are whole, cycles of incarceration are broken, and communities stand united in resilience and compassion. Co-Parenting Ikigai strives to create a future where every parent returning from incarceration is empowered to rebuild healthy relationships, every youth is guided toward hope instead of prison, and every individual finds safety, support, and purpose. Through education, mentorship, and rapid response, we envision communities that thrive on connection, healing, and shared responsibility.

CO-PARENTING IKIGAI GOALS
I. Family Reunification - Empowering parents re-entering society after incarceration through co-parenting education, mediation, and ongoing support, fostering healthy co-parenting relationships and stable homes
* Over 2.7 million children in the U.S. have an incarcerated parent, increasing risks of poverty and trauma. 1 in 3 children with an incarcerated parent faces lifelong challenges without intervention.
II. Breaking the Cycles of Incarceration - Reducing adult incarceration by mentoring and supporting juvenile offenders, while offering a safe space for individuals experiencing post-incarceration syndrome through our dedicated MAN TIME division.
*68% of formerly incarcerated individuals reoffend within three years without intervention. Juvenile offenders are 38% less likely to reoffend when paired with a mentor. Post-incarceration syndrome affects thousands, leading to relapse and broken families without safe spaces for recovery.
III. Community Rapid Response Team - Acting as community-first rapid response team, delivering aid and resources to individuals and families in urgent need, ensuring no one faces hardship alone.
*Families in urgent need often lack immediate access to food and housing.
Without target programs, these cycles perpetuate generational harm. Co-Parenting Ikigai offers a comprehensive solution. Your contribution helps us turn these statistics into stories of success.
