The Yellow Ribbon Project (YRP) is a movement that strives to build a more inclusive society by changing society’s mindset to give ex-offenders a second chance in life so that they can contribute and pay it forward to society. The initiative was started in 2004 by the Community Action for the Rehabilitation of Ex-Offenders (CARE) Network. Former president S.R Nathan launched the campaign at the Yellow Ribbon Project Charity Concert.

Our tagline "We Are Each Other's Second Chances" speaks to the collective responsibility that we share as a society to support and uplift ex-offenders and their families who are striving to turn their lives around. It underscores the importance of hope, resilience and second chances, to build a more inclusive and cohesive society for all.
