Our Vision
We 2 Matter Incorporated’s objective is to implement strategies to provide resources for ex-offenders with a primary focus on females to obtain economic stability and to offer social services for family members, particularly children in need of individual and/or family counseling.
We 2 Matter was incorporated and conceptualized as a collaborative effort of primarily family members to use their professional credentials in assisting individuals with felon records to reenter society, secure gainful employment, obtain suitable housing, and obtain quality lives.
