Help someone build a second chance
A job. A place to come home to. A chance to provide for family. Your gift helps people across Tampa Bay take those next steps.
Rebuilding Lives. Restoring Hope.
Rehabilitation of the Heart helps youth and adults across Tampa Bay prepare for work, build practical skills, and connect with resources for employability. We pair workforce development with prerelease preparation, reentry planning, mentorship, and community connections that help people move toward stability.

When someone moves forward, a family moves with them.
A certificate can be the first proof that a different future is possible. A meal can mean one less worry. A mentor can be the person who keeps showing up. Together, these moments help people build skills, prepare for work, and take their next steps with support.
Since 2020, ROTH’s journey has included community care, workforce training, and prerelease preparation. More than 120 justice-involved students had graduated with trade-skill certifications by the close of 2023—a milestone in a story that continues today.
