The Other Side Academy saves lives by changing behaviors. A 2 1/2 year minimum training school where students learn prosocial and vocational and life skills allowing them to emerge with a healthy life on “the other side”. This program is available as an alternative to those facing long-term incarceration as well as those seeking a change from the life they’ve chosen in the past.

IT'S FREE. IT'S HARD. IT WORKS.

Our students are not defined by their pasts. They're challenged to take responsibility for their future. Through work, accountability, relationships, and personal transformation, students learn to become people their families, employers, and communities can depend on.

Results matter. Since opening in 2015, over 200 Academy graduates remain: 

80% viably employed

76% crime free

74% drug free

The Other Side Academy is a proven model with successful campuses in both Utah and Colorado.

HELP BUILD THE OTHER SIDE IN BOISE

Idaho's incarcerated population is approaching 10,000 people and drug offenses continue to play a significant role in Idaho's corrections system. Too many people cycle through addiction, crime, incarceration, and unemployment without finding a lasting path forward. 

For Boise, this means a new solution for addressing some of our most difficult challenges. 

Join us in establishing this proven model for long lasting change.
