Values
Our Founder
Rev. Kristi D. Hornick is Founder & CEO of 180 Reintegration LLC, a mission-driven organization committed to shifting perception and facilitating reconciliation. She received her B.S. degree from Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business and graduated from Iliff School of Theology with a Master of Arts in Social Justice and Ethics.
Ordained in the United Methodist Church, Kristi’s in-prison and aftercare work has received ecclesiastical endorsement from the UM Endorsing Agency. For seven years she served as a Loveland Police Chaplain and in 2021 produced and launched a podcast called, “The Walls with Kristi & Cindy,” which features women, including her own sister, who have reinvented themselves through incarceration.
Last year Kristi became a Contract Instructor & Consultant with The Conflict Center and recently joined the Indiana University Alumni Association as a Colorado Chapter Board Member. Kristi is also a Certified Enneagram Coach through Enneagram University and enjoys helping people understand why they do what they do and how to realize their best life and relationships.
Almost 20 years ago when she embarked on the journey to fulfill her call into prison ministry, Kristi never envisioned how much it and the people—offenders, volunteers, donors and returning citizens alike—would transform her life. Kristi passionately challenges us to not only be a society of second chances, but to see the humanity of a person, not just his/her/their criminal record. In her “spare” time, she enjoys traveling, concerts, sporting events (Go Hoosiers!), hiking, gardening, exercising, movies, and reading.

Problem
Lack of knowledge and understanding of the prison environment, the plight of returning citizens, including the reentry challenges/injustices of reintegration, and how to effectively build trust and partner with this unique population that achieves successful reintegration. Further, collaboration among various stakeholders, including correctional facilities, social services, and community organizations, is essential for effective reentry. However, inadequate coordination leads to gaps in support.
To address these challenges, 180 Reintegration is positioned to play the role in fostering a more supportive environment for individuals reentering society after incarceration by providing tailored services to community stakeholders, including cultural competency, coaching, training, consulting, leadership development and networking/resource coordination that shift perceptions and facilitate reconciliation so ultimately, individuals and communities thrive – together.

Consult with organizations, both public and private, on developing effective reentry programs for individuals leaving prison. This could involve designing the first three hours, days, weeks and months of reentry planning, job training, mental health support, housing programs and much more.

A powerful personality typing system that offers deep insights into human behavior, motivations, and interpersonal dynamics, the Enneagram is a versatile tool for personal and professional growth, fostering empathy, compassion and deeper understanding of oneself and others, encouraging individuals to embrace their strengths, confront their limitations and embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation.
