Affordable Financial Education & Services for the Community


Empower Your Future with Financial Literacy




“Knowledge Without Action Cost Money.”
At Common Ground Empowerment Network Inc., we believe in second chances, brighter futures, and the power of community. We exist to serve and uplift formerly incarcerated individuals, underserved communities, and families—especially children—impacted by incarceration.
Too often, these individuals are left without the resources, guidance, or support they need to rebuild their lives. We know the struggles firsthand—and we’re here to be the bridge between survival and success.
Our nonprofit was founded on lived experience, empathy, and a bold commitment to change. We offer programs that empower people to grow through financial literacy, mentorship, education, and personal development. Whether it's preparing for re-entry, supporting children with incarcerated parents, or helping underserved individuals gain access to life-changing opportunities—we meet people where they are and walk with them toward where they’re meant to be.
We exist because everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive—not just survive.
