Pioneer Human Services

Enterprises: employment is key to building a stable life in the community after incarceration. That's why we started pioneer industries in 1967. Today we operate multiple business lines that help support our social service programs while providing a training ground and work experience that promote a career trajectory for those we serve, and serve as a model to other businesses on how they can successfully employ formerly incarcerated individuals. Our business lines include manufacturing, distribution, food service and construction.

Youth/juvenile: pioneer provides an array of specialized residential programs to serve youth, young adults and families in crisis. Our goal is to preserve families, if it is safe for the youth, and provide the tools and skills needed to prevent youth from entering the judicial system or from returning to it.

Reentry: as the sole provider of residential reentry services for people releasing from federal prison in washington state, pioneer works with each resident to prepare for life in the community. Our reentry centers offer a wide range of support to meet individual resident needs, including on-site substance abuse and mental health treatment, job-readiness workshops, parenting classes and family reunification services.

Housing: recognizing that housing is vital to stability and is an area where people with criminal histories frequently face discrimination, pioneer offers a range of affordable and service-enriched housing options across the state of washington.
