Organization Details

The Osborne Association operates a broad range of treatment, educational, and vocational services for people involved in criminal justice system, including incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people, their children, and other family members. We serve more than 6,00 people annually in the greater New York region- at sites in the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Beacon, on Rikers Island, and in more than 17 New York State Prisons. Our program models demonstrate that employment and family services, chemical dependency treatment, access to HIV/health care, and constructive and supervised alternatives to incarceration can reduce crime, decrease violence, and address the concerns of victims.

The Osborne Association has over 150 staff members and some 40 volunteers, more than 80% of whom are African-American, Caribbean-American, Latino, and Asian, and many of whom are former prisoners, family of prisoners, people in recovery, and people living with HIV/AIDS.

In January 2001, the Osborne Association merged with The South Forty Corporation, the oldest employment organization in New York State exclusively for individuals involved in the criminal justice system, became Osborne's Employment and Training Services that places hundreds of men and women into jobs annually.
