We provide mentorship and life coaching, legal services, and re-entry tools to young men, ages 18-21, who are incarcerated on Rikers Island.

OUR MISSION

PROVIDING CIRCLES OF SUPPORT INSIDE RIKERS

The La La Land Foundation's “ThreeSixty" program offers young men at Rikers, specifically the Robert N. Davoren (RNDC) Complex, mentorship, meaningful connection, and tangible support that helps them be heard, grow, and reintegrate upon release with a deeper understanding of themselves and others.

THE FUTURE WE'RE BUILDING

We envision a future where confinement does not diminish potential, where development is prioritized over discipline, and every young man is supported in building a better future.

At ThreeSixty, we have seen what happens when

Judgement is replaced with listening,

Connection takes the place of isolation,

Mental health care replaces neglect,

Healing leads to confidence, and

Reentry becomes a real opportunity instead of a revolving door.

We envision a growing network of young men who return home with renewed strength, ready to support one another, lead in their communities, and break cycles that once seemed impossible to move past.

HOW WE SUPPORT OUR YOUNG MEN

THE PRINCIPLES WE PRACTICE

Every Voice Has Weight

Everyone gets a chance to speak. We listen even when we don’t agree.

Respect is Non-Negotiable

We don’t have to agree, but we have to stay openminded. Opinions are heard, not silenced.

Consistency Builds Trust

Trust takes time. We build it through consistency, not promises.

We Learn Together

Growth isn’t one-way. We all bring something valuable to the circle and learn from each other.

This Space Stays Safe

We protect the space by protecting each other’s stories.

Hear our staff and partners share their experiences of witnessing our programming firsthand:

"A lot of our participants have spent so much time incarcerated, they’ve forgotten how to live freely. So we help with that. If they need a job, we help. If they need housing or support, we’re there. Reentry isn't just release – it’s rebuilding”
