Our Purpose
Switchback’s purpose is to enable young people to find a way out of the justice system and build a stable, rewarding life they can be proud of.
People only do what they know, and that depends where you grow up. To me, I knew how to sell drugs. In my community it’s just normal to do crime. Switchback taught me and pushed me so much. I’ve learned to forget about crime. I’ve been shown a different route. - Ahmed, Switchback Trainee
