Support for people in the system
STR8UP helps members, youth, and adults within the criminal justice system become healthy responsible citizens. We support through a range of services, from addictions support and healing circles to mentorship and justice advocacy.
Art for Change Fundraiser
Our 2nd Annual STR8 UP Art for Change Fundraiser which will take place on Thursday October 26 2023 at 6:00pm at The Remai Modern. The event will feature a variety of works on offer created by established local and emerging artists, many of whom are currently incarcerated. Bringing this hidden talent from the shadows to the forefront of the arts scene means that STR8 UP members can contribute to our mission and make a positive impact within the community.
Gangs are a dead-end street
No matter who you are, what you have done, or where you live, if you are ready for a new life, a new life is ready for you. We all have the power to change.
“It wasn’t easy to walk away – gang life was all I knew and a part of who I am – I dropped because they were too greedy, too power-driven and had no loyalty.”
Our Impact
Our impact is evident in each life transformed and those lives impact their families and communities. We are creating a positive ripple effect in the city of Saskatoon and throughout the province of Saskatchewan.
