What the money paid for, in its own words
2024 · Form 990, Part III · the three largest programs by expenseTreatment: pioneer offers a range of treatment services in the community including detox, outpatient and residential treatment options and within local jails to support recovery from substance abuse and mental health disorders. All of our services are focused on meeting people where they are, understanding their individual needs, and developing a plan to support them as they work toward becoming healthy, productive members of our communities
Enterprises: employment is key to building a stable life in the community after incarceration. That's why we started pioneer industries in 1967. Today we operate multiple business lines that help support our social service programs while providing a training ground and work experience that promote a career trajectory for those we serve, and serve as a model to other businesses on how they can successfully employ formerly incarcerated individuals. Our business lines include manufacturing, distribution, food service and construction
Youth/juvenile: pioneer provides an array of specialized residential programs to serve youth, young adults and families in crisis. Our goal is to preserve families, if it is safe for the youth, and provide the tools and skills needed to prevent youth from entering the judicial system or from returning to it
