Our Initiative

Returning Youth Initiative, Inc., (a 501(c)(3) charity organization) provides young adults with a pathway to be re-integrated into society, pursuing a new and productive life after being released from incarceration. They learn life skills; be employed; pursue long-term education; remain off the streets and out of a life of crime, and lead a rewarding life. This initiative is being done through partnerships with community-based organizations, DA’s offices, law enforcement, local townships, and the court systems.


Our Vision

  • To see post-incarcerated young adults welcomed into society with an integrated approach, be part of their community, and not return to a life of crime

  • To provide young adults with a pathway to a productive life

  • To provide housing, food, life skills training, trade skills training, secure employment, and long-term education

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide post-incarcerated young adults with a supportive community to ensure a smooth integration back into society.  We furnish them with the building blocks and support necessary to become self-sustaining individuals.

Why did Dr. Khanna start this initiative?

  • The Reformation Act did not adequately care for ex-offenders

  • Wanted to reduce recidivism amongst the youth

  • Absence of proper education and training inside jail programs

  • Lack of acceptance in the community from where they left
