Michael Maisey's story of redemption and transformation is truly remarkable. After serving time in prison as a troubled 16-year-old, he turned his life around and created the Change is Possible Project. His journey is detailed in his bestselling book, Young Offender, and more recently in a TEDx talk titled "Uncaged: From Prison to Purpose" in 2022.

We are proud to offer Community Workshops that can be beneficial for anyone looking to enhance their personal growth and development. Whether you're seeking to improve relationships, struggling with addiction, dealing with trauma or mental health issues, or transitioning back into society after incarceration, we welcome you with open minds and hearts. Join us and discover the power of transformation with the Change is Possible Project.
