Families Inspiring Reentry & Reunification 4 Everyone
Providing support to those directly impacted by Incarceration and Child Welfare
About Us
Stephanie Jeffcoat’s journey has been shaped by hardship, resilience, and determination. She faced repeated incarceration due to drug addiction, and after a traumatic assault, she became homeless and pregnant. With no support, she lived in her car through one of the most difficult times in her life. After giving birth, she returned to jail for six and a half months, during which her baby was adopted out without notice. Upon release, she felt lost but devoted herself to fighting for her daughter. Though painful, these experiences gave her strength, perspective, and a commitment to create change.
About FIR4E
Families Inspiring Reentry and Reunification 4 Everyone (FIR4E) is a newly formed non-profit based in Orange County. It was founded by Stephanie Jeffcoat, a respected public policy organizer and activist. Stephanie previously worked with the nationally acclaimed A New Way of Life Reentry Project, collaborating with legislators, allied non-profits, and grassroots organizers to advance meaningful reforms in California. Through this work, she built expertise in criminal justice and child welfare policy and became deeply committed to extending critical services—such as reentry housing, case management, and family reunification—directly to her community in Orange County.
Mission & Vision
FIR4E is dedicated to giving formerly incarcerated individuals a real chance to rebuild their lives and succeed.
Our mission is rooted in the belief that every person deserves a second chance, and with the right support, anyone can reintegrate with dignity.
Our vision is to help end mass incarceration by empowering individuals and communities directly affected by it. By amplifying their voices through advocacy, education, civic engagement, and organizing, we work to dismantle systemic barriers, promote restorative justice, and create a society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive free from stigma.
