Our Story

Built by People Who've
Been Through It

M.J. Evans — Founder & Executive Director

"Reentry-Workforce Development – Leadership Training - Community Reintegration"

TCBIN was founded by someone who walked out of incarceration and knew exactly what was missing — not lectures, but real, tangible support.

A job lead. A suit for an interview. Someone who believed in you. That's why everything we do is built on lived experience.

Our Mission

Second Chances Are Real.
So Are Real People.

Incarceration disrupts lives and families. Reentry without support nearly guarantees failure. TCBIN changes that equation — comprehensive, experience-driven programming from inside the institution to stable community life.

We don't just talk about second chances. We build them.

What We Provide
💼

Job Readiness

Resume training, interview prep, and real placement support.

🎓

Leadership Training

4-part certification series for institutional and community leaders.

👕

Essential Support

Clothing, hygiene supplies, and transitional resources — no judgment.

🧠

Mental Health

Structured sessions with licensed support and peer accountability.

🤝

Mentorship

One-on-one mentors with lived experience walking the journey with you.

🏘️

Community Service

Giving back builds character — every participant contributes.

Real Support. Real Accountability.

Participation in TCBIN programs isn't a free pass — it's a commitment. Every participant engages in structured sessions covering mental health, mentorship, accountability check-ins, community service, and personal development. Growth requires responsibility, and we hold everyone to that standard — including ourselves.

The People Behind the Mission

Our Team

Dedicated leaders, professionals, and community members committed to building real second chances.

Community Police Forum
Hosted by Central Florida Urban League · In Partnership with TCBIN

A Historic Community Moment

On June 2, 2026, TCBIN proudly partnered with the Central Florida Urban League to host a Community Police Forum — bringing together community members, law enforcement, and local organizations for an open, honest, and solution-driven conversation. The room was packed. The energy was real. This is what building bridges looks like.

"When the community and law enforcement sit in the same room and talk — not at each other, but with each other — that's where change begins. We were honored to be part of that."

— M.J. Evans, Founder & Executive Director, TCBIN
