Ten Toes In was developed on February 8, 2014, when Darlene Burke, Founder & Executive Director, was involved with her former partner, who was sentenced to 25-years to LIFE in a CA prison. The Executive Director created Ten Toes In because she searched for a support group for women who were involved with incarcerated men and could not find one. Ten Toes In became a 501©3 nonprofit organization, January 26, 2015.
OUR MISSION: Ten Toes In serves as a Mentorship and Domestic Violence Prevention Program. To support, educate, and empower couples during and after incarceration. To educate society about the dynamics of a prison relationship.
OUR VISION : In 5 years, Ten Toes In created our Intimate Relationships 101 Curriculum implemented in male prisons across the state of California. We also are traveling to different parts of the world educating audiences about Incarceration, Reentry, and Intimate Relationships.
