Compassion
Treating every individual with dignity and understanding.
Second Chances. Real Opportunities. Lasting Change.
Our Story
The Ready for a Change Foundation Inc. was founded by Carolyn Davis with a vision to help individuals move beyond their past and build brighter futures. We recognize that people transitioning from incarceration and those living with felony convictions often face challenges finding housing, employment, education, and support.
We believe everyone deserves an opportunity to grow, rebuild, and contribute positively to their communities.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to create opportunities that empower individuals to overcome barriers, develop life skills, achieve stability, and work toward long-term independence. Through planned programs, community partnerships, mentorship, education, and supportive resources, we aim to help people take meaningful steps toward positive change.
Our Values
Opportunity
Believing everyone deserves a chance to build a better future.
Integrity
Operating with honesty, fairness, and transparency.
Accountability
Encouraging responsibility, personal growth, and positive decisions.
Empowerment

Community
Building partnerships that strengthen individuals, families, and neighborhoods.
Our Vision
Our vision is to create a community where individuals are not permanently defined by their past mistakes, but are given meaningful opportunities to rebuild their lives, develop their potential, and become independent, productive members of society.
