Persevere is a national nonprofit reimagining second chances through tech education, workforce development, and holistic reentry support.
We empower justice-impacted individuals - and those at risk of justice involvement - with the tools, training, and community networks they need to thrive. Through full-stack web development courses, life skills, career readiness, and post-release support, we’re breaking cycles of poverty and incarceration for good.
From the inside out, we’re building pathways to purpose - with tech careers, entrepreneurship, and fair-chance employment at the center. Our work doesn’t end at graduation - we walk with our participants through reentry, mentorship, job placement, and community reintegration.
💻 Powered by tech. ❤️ Driven by purpose. 🌍 Rooted in second chances.
Together, we’re creating a world where everyone has a fair chance to thrive.
