The Founders
Built From
Experience
Two men who lived it, learned from it, and came back to lift others higher.
The Builder
Damion
Ross
Innovation Architect
Damion Ross knows what it means to start over. After navigating the criminal justice system firsthand, he emerged with a mission — not just to rebuild his own life, but to create pathways for others who face the same uphill climb.
As the driving force behind Get It Together's operations, Damion brings relentless energy, strategic vision, and deep community roots to every program the organization runs. He doesn't just talk about change — he builds it, brick by brick.
From reentry workshops to youth mentorship, Damion's fingerprints are on every initiative that has touched a life in the communities G.I.T. serves.
"I didn't just survive the system — I came back to dismantle the barriers it leaves behind."
Side by Side
Two Visions.
One Mission.
Bound by shared experience and a relentless belief that every person deserves a second chance.
The Compass
Dante
Green
Visionary Strategist
Dante Green is the moral compass of Get It Together. His journey through adversity gave him an unshakeable empathy for those still in the struggle — and a clarity of purpose that guides every program the organization delivers.
As Director of Programs, Dante ensures that G.I.T.'s work stays rooted in the real needs of the community. He listens first, then acts — building trust with the people the organization serves before anything else.
Whether he's coordinating a resource fair, mentoring a young man finding his footing, or advocating for policy change, Dante brings heart, discipline, and wisdom to everything he touches.
"Real change starts when you stop looking past people and start looking at them."
