About Pivot Empowerment, Education & Recovery Society Alberta

Pivot Society is a nonprofit organization based in Alberta dedicated to empowering at-risk youth and adults through education, mentorship, and recovery-based programming. Founded by a former gang member turned recovery coach and interventionist, Pivot offers unique, lived-experience-driven services that meet individuals where they are and help them build lives of purpose and accountability. Our Services Include: Gloves Not Guns: A boxing-based mentorship and life skills program for justice-involved youth. New Beginnings Initiative: A non-law enforcement gang exit program focused on reintegration and healing. Beyond the Streets Workshops: Interactive sessions on gang life, human trafficking, and criminal exploitation. Streetwise Kids: Early intervention for youth ages 8–12 to prevent gang involvement. One-on-One Mentorship: Personalized support for incarcerated youth preparing for release. Pathways to Employment: Helping youth transition from street life to meaningful careers in trades, entrepreneurship, or school. Art, Music & Cultural Healing: Creative outlets and Indigenous-informed approaches to build identity and resilience. At Pivot, we believe no one is too far gone. Every person deserves a second chance—and a roadmap to get there.
