the redeem team
The Redeem Team, founded by Gerald “Prince” Miller, tackles the systemic challenges facing urban communities—especially in Queens—by addressing the root causes of youth crime and incarceration. Focused on disadvantaged neighborhoods, the organization works to break cycles of hardship through mentorship, education, and community empowerment.
What sets The Redeem Team apart is its emphasis on mentorship, education, and community outreach. These programs go beyond crime prevention—they are designed to empower young people with the skills, guidance, and support needed to build successful, purpose-driven lives. Through educational workshops, leadership development, and hands-on community engagement, the foundation works to dismantle barriers that have long limited opportunities for marginalized groups, replacing them with tangible pathways to achievement.
By approaching these issues through a restorative lens, The Redeem Team confronts the disproportionate impact of crime and incarceration on communities of color, while fostering resilience and hope. Prince’s leadership—rooted in his own lived experience—serves as a powerful example of transformation and the capacity to create change from within.
Through its holistic approach, The Redeem Team supports not only the rehabilitation of individuals but also the strengthening of the community as a whole. In doing so, it helps break cycles of disenfranchisement, promotes social cohesion, and lays the groundwork for a more just and equitable society—one where every young person has the opportunity to rise above their circumstances and fulfill their potential.
