RECIDIVISM INITIATIVE

NO MORE BARS

A North Carolina nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing recidivism and empowering justice-impacted individuals through advocacy, mentorship, education, resource navigation, and community support.

We believe a person's past should not define their future, and that everyone deserves access to opportunities that foster growth, accountability, and long-term success.

Community support and connection

About No More Bars

The organization works to break cycles of incarceration by helping individuals successfully transition back into their communities and build stable, productive lives.

No More Bars serves as a bridge between individuals seeking a fresh start and the resources, organizations, employers, and community leaders willing to invest in positive change.
