Who is Televerde Foundation?

Our Purpose & Values

Our Mission

Provide currently and formerly incarcerated women with the personal and professional development programs necessary to successfully join and advance in the global workplace. Our approach develops self-efficacy by inspiring creativity, imagination, self-confidence, and social skills while addressing issues that cause recidivism. We enable women to break the generational cycle of poverty and incarceration by becoming positive role models to change the lives of future generations and build stronger communities.

Our Vision
A world with opportunities for all to be successful.
