Osborne is committed to transforming lives, communities, and the criminal justice system through:
- Direct services and programs in five community sites—in the Bronx (our headquarters), Brooklyn, Buffalo, Manhattan, and Newburgh—and more than 30 prisons and jails, designed and proven to transform individuals, families, and communities.
- Policy advocacy, training, technical assistance, and testing new approaches through the Osborne Center for Justice Across Generations (OCJAG), and our coalitions and partnerships, designed to transform the criminal justice system.
In 2019, we adopted the following core values, which were composed through a collaborative process involving staff at all levels of the organization:
1. We honor everyone’s capacity to change.
2. We celebrate our shared humanity.
3. We are united in our pursuit of justice and equity.
4. We keep our word.
5. We are unstoppable.
