The CROSSOVER Transition Program

"Crossover Transition Program builds on proven results, starting with our previous work at the Boston Prerelease Center, where Dr. Thomas and Pastor Joshua Fulton, from Jubilee Christian Center, co-facilitated a transition program in 2017-2018. We've refined the approach through real-world application. Now, partnering with Rev. Eugene Rivers and Steven Wilson's Boston United initiative, we're scaling comprehensive workforce development that doesn't just find jobs—it builds careers. We combine life skills, industry-specific training, professional certifications, sports-based career readiness, and long-term career support. Our participants see 75% lower recidivism rates, 85% employment placement, and most importantly, they become leaders in their communities. Because true reentry isn't just about getting out—it's about building up." 

The Crossover Transition Program is directly tied to responding to, reducing, and eradicating the vestiges of the School to Prison pipeline (STP).

Practical, realistic, measurable, timely, achievable, and specific programs and services are required to impact the CTP and the institutions that benefit the most from the CTP.

We understand the needs for young men and women to have more than one chance to live right. We all make mistakes. The CTP leverages the power of sports and the opportunity to work in the sports industry. 

The CTP gives you direct and indirect instruction, support, and networking opportunities in the sports Industry. The CTP is your way to remove the stigma of a Justice Involved history and move to a future that combines your passion for sports with opportunities for success.

New cohorts are beginning in August 2025!

Remove the excuses, join the CTP. This innovative course leverages the principles of sports and team dynamics to facilitate a smooth transition into society, promoting personal growth, accountability, and community engagement.

4. Physical Fitness and Well-being: Regular physical activity is integrated into the curriculum to promote mental health, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being, essential for a successful reintegration process.
5. Civic & Community Engagement: The program emphasizes the importance of giving back, encouraging participants to engage in community service projects centered around sports, fostering a sense of purpose and connection to their environment.
6. Mentorship Opportunities: Participants will be connected with local sports organizations and professionals in the industry to explore mentorship and career pathways in sports and recreation.

By blending the transformative power of sports with a focus on rehabilitation, the Crossover Transition Program aims to equip participants with the necessary tools, skills, and support to thrive as productive members of their communities.
