The Journey Project (Tukwila)

🌟 Transformation Tuesday! 🌟 At The Journey Project, we believe in the power of second chances and the strength of community. Did you know that people who participate in reentry programs like ours are 40% less likely to return to prison? That’s because we’re more than just a program—we’re a family that supports, encourages, and uplifts each other every step of the way. Your past does not define your future. With determination, guidance, and a strong support system, you can achieve anything. Remember, every small step forward is a victory worth celebrating. We’re here to walk with you on this journey to a brighter tomorrow. Together, we rise! #thejourneyprojecttukwila #secondchances #transformationtuesday #reentrysuccess #supportandgrow #reentrymatters

🌟 Celebrating Paul’s Life 🌟 This evening, The Journey Project came together to honor and celebrate the life of our dear friend, Paul. Surrounded by his loving family and cherished friends, we shared stories, memories, and heartfelt moments that highlighted the incredible impact Paul had on all of us. We laughed, we cried, and we remembered the joy he brought into our lives. Each of us wrote down a personal farewell message to Paul, which we then placed into the fire, symbolizing our love and farewell to a remarkable soul. It was a beautiful evening, filled with love and inspiration, reminding us of the profound connections we build and the lasting legacies we leave behind. Paul, you will forever be in our hearts. 💖 #celebratinglife #RememberingPaul #JourneyProjectFamily #thejourneyprojecttukwila #reentrymatters #celebrationoflife

Today, I had the immense honor of attending the Anew graduation alongside The Journey Project family to celebrate one of our remarkable participants, who has successfully completed the training program for construction trades. As the president of The Journey Project, I am constantly inspired by the resilience and determination of our community members. Witnessing our participant's journey from incarceration to achieving this milestone is a testament to the power of perseverance, support, and belief in second chances. This graduation is not just a personal triumph for our participant but a beacon of hope for all who walk through our doors. It reminds us that with hard work, guidance, and a nurturing environment, we can build new paths and transform lives.

It is with profound sadness that we share the loss of Paul, a beloved member of The Journey Project family for nearly six years. Paul was more than just a participant; he was a friend, a mentor, and a shining example of selflessness. His warmth was felt in the meals he lovingly prepared at our potlucks and in the care he took to maintain the beauty of our green belt. Paul's unwavering willingness to help others embodied the true spirit of our community. His presence brought light and love into our lives, and his absence leaves an irreplaceable void. We extend our deepest sympathies and healing thoughts to his family during this heart-wrenching time. Paul's legacy of kindness and generosity will forever be etched in our hearts. 💕 #paulslegacy #neverforgotten #ourcommunity
