At the Co-LAB

We cultivate collaboration by working alongside communities to elevate champions of equity and support the work they have been doing over the years. We advocate for the rights and participation of all, especially those historically affected by the war on drugs, aiming to rectify past injustices through actions like expungements and decriminalization. The Ascend CO-LAB is committed to a shared future, marked by collective growth, healing, and prosperity.

“This initiative represents more than our commitment to social equity—it embodies our vision for a collaborative, thriving future where every individual has the opportunity to succeed.

Together, we’re planting the seeds for a more inclusive and just industry.”

Formerly Incarcerated Individuals Supported Through Partnership Collaborations

Our Mission

To cultivate a more equitable cannabis industry through collective action and support the healing of those impacted by the war on drugs.​

Our Vision

To collaborate with our communities on programming focused on restorative justice, economic empowerment, and community engagement.

Our Approach

Restorative Justice

Expungement clinics and resource fairs are held quarterly nationwide, offering individuals the chance to clear eligible criminal records, not limited to cannabis convictions.

These events provide more than expungement services, including free meals, mental health support, veteran assistance, help with obtaining identification, and other essential resources. Local community organizations and city departments collaborate to ensure attendees receive comprehensive support.

Economic Empowerment

We create job opportunities for formerly incarcerated individuals through partnerships like Masscultivated. Our mentorship program offers three months of online workshops with ongoing support.

We also provide cultivation and dispensary tours for Social Equity (SE) applicants and assist SE licensees nationwide. Additionally, we collaborate with mentorship programs like SEED and the Minority Cannabis Academy.

Our Supplier Diversity initiative supports Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs), women-owned, and veteran-owned businesses, focusing on increasing Black, Brown, and women-owned brands on our shelves.

Interested in becoming a supplier? Contact us!

Community Reinvestment

We have donated over $650,000 to grassroots organizations, supporting initiatives such as food drives, coat giveaways, feminine hygiene product distributions, laptop donations for students, and meals for shelters and senior homes.

We also prioritize community education about the cannabis industry, conduct research on the effectiveness of Social Equity (SE) practices, and collaborate with colleges and universities to educate students about career opportunities in the industry.

If you’re interested in partnering with us on any of these programs, please reach out!

TESTIMONIALS

"I had an enjoyable and informative tour at Ascend Cultivation with our instructors, Matt and Clare, who explained each department, including soil, lighting, production, and plant care. I also observed the staff trimming the plant and learned about the process. The entire tour was empowering and mentally healing, from seed to sale. Thanks to Ascend staff for this educational and amazing tour experience."

Juan, Account Manager, Smart Cannabis
"This visit to an Illinois cultivation facility was amazing. Claire's tour organization was excellent, and her guidance ensured a smooth experience. As an educator in the cannabis field, these opportunities, thanks to Claire, add value to Chicago's programs. The insights gained here empowered us to enhance our educational efforts. Claire and Matt's detailed departmental introductions showcased day-to-day cultivation operations. I was particularly impressed with extraction methods and plant growth stages. Claire's goodie bag allowed me to explore and appreciate Ascend's products. Thank you!"

Jaynee', Director of Smart Cannabis
I highly recommend Ascend's mentorship program. It's an awesome experience with informative tours, engaging classes, and organizers who are super enthusiastic about answering questions. Take this great opportunity to expand your knowledge and gain valuable insights!.
