Helping people build rebuild and thrive

 
 

In March of 1999, just three years after returning home, Julio Medina founded Exodus Transitional Community. With the help of one volunteer and a generous donation by our founding supporters, we have been able to grow from a one-room office at the Church of the Living Hope on East 104th Street, donated by the late Reverend Dr. Lonnie McLeod, to a multi-location justice organization serving over 3,000 New Yorkers every year.

Though grounded in our re-entry programs, Exodus Transitional Community offers a broad spectrum of services for adults and youth affected by the justice system. In addition, we are proud to lead the policy and advocacy efforts that promote positive change in our communities. Whether through direct service or service referrals, our mission is to ensure our participants not only become contributing members of society but also that we meet as many of their daily needs as possible to ensure they succeed and live well.
