The Standard Project is a nonprofit education organization dedicated to reentry and community rebuilding. We believe that people who have been through the hardest moments in life can define their own standard, and then live by it.

In their own words

Graduates of Defining Your Standard share what made this program different and the standard they’re carrying forward.


The book behind the curriculum

Defining Your Standard began as a book by Adrian L. Martinez. Its message became the foundation of our curriculum: to help those who choose to define their own Standard, and in doing so, their own destiny.
