Building a future we own.
The barriers facing formerly incarcerated women are systemic—limited job opportunities, unstable housing, and exclusion from real economic power.
We’re building a cooperative ecosystem where returning women become not just workers or tenants, but owners—creating stability, wealth, and self-determined futures.
Cooperatives create lasting economic security by keeping wealth in the hands of the people who generate it. Through shared ownership, we’re transforming jobs and housing into community assets that build power for generations.
Strengthening community through cooperation..
Invest in liberation. Build community wealth.
Every dollar you give helps build cooperative businesses and housing, putting ownership in the hands of formerly incarcerated Black women. Your support fuels economic justice and self-determined futures—because true freedom starts with control over our livelihoods.
"VOLTS is a testament to what is possible when you remove barriers and let women step into their genius”
— Colette Payne, Women's Justice Institute
