The Road Called STRATE was developed by Mr. James Thomas, through the personal journey of growing up as a disadvantaged youth to becoming a justice involved adult- having an awareness of both crime and punishment.
Throughout and in deep reflection of his own journey, James envisioned providing support to the local youth as well as, low income and justice-involved individuals and families. The type of support that would shift not only their mindset but their ability to develop and prosper through adequate education, training & encouragement.
After 24 years of impact, The Road Called STRATE continues to provide services and resources that give hope to all people to grow within themselves and in the community.

Our Philosophy
We believe in the value of all people. We would like society to know that at some point in our lives, we all begin to recognize who we are, what we can do, as well as all that we can be.
This self-examination comes at different times for different individuals. Exactness, however, will lift that person & all that surrounds them to another plane which is only a step towards the pursuit of their true existence, their own self-esteem, & the depth of sincerity that can only be measured by one self & God.
The cries of the soul is much louder than the desires of the flesh.
