The RESET Program
The RESET Program
Re-Entry Support & Essential Training — a structured rehabilitation ecosystem, not just a curriculum.
Our Founder
Founder & Executive Director, The RESET Program
Arron Pinkney founded RESET on the belief that people should not be permanently defined by the worst decisions of their past. Arron served 8½ years in prison for first-degree kidnapping and robbery. During that time, he built and put into practice the first core principles of The RESET Program: personal accountability, self-control, and emotional wellness. Living by those three principles while incarcerated, he received only one infraction during his entire sentence.
After his release, Arron added workforce readiness, financial literacy, family strengthening, and mentorship, with measurable outcomes, turning his early program into one coordinated model for lasting change that has now been proving itself for more than 8 years. Arron is living proof that the program works for those who are dedicated to change.
To help justice-involved individuals move beyond their past by providing structured support, essential life skills, workforce preparation, emotional development, and accountability-based reintegration planning.
To become a statewide rehabilitation and reentry ecosystem that strengthens public safety, supports families, expands workforce participation, reduces recidivism, and helps participants become productive contributors to their communities.
"You Are Not Your Past!" — encouragement that transformation is possible, and a challenge to take ownership of the future.
Who We Serve
RESET is designed to serve returning citizens, probation and parole participants, correctional and detention facility residents nearing release, juvenile justice participants, and high-risk reentry populations — in correctional facilities, community-based reentry centers, and workforce partnerships statewide.
Real change requires participants to take ownership of their choices.
No one is permanently limited by their past.
No one resets their life alone.
RESET tracks real progress through the RESET Impact Score™.
Whether you need support or want to support someone else's reset, we're here.
