Our approach
Prevention through awareness, skills, and relationships.

Chairman & Founder
According to SHUINC's current website, Russell Allen founded SHUINC while serving a federal prison sentence. The site describes his education, writing, mentoring, and commitment to breaking cycles of incarceration as central parts of the organization's story.
His work is built around a simple idea: young people should have access to guidance and opportunity before a bad decision becomes a life-defining one.
