Our Programs
Beyond The Bars
This program is designed to bring awareness and provide a platform for incarcerated students to self-reflect on the importance of their self-worth. We believe that how a person feels about themselves is manifested by their behaviors. Each person needs to recognize their innate worth that cannot be changed. Life circumstances affect how we feel, but our values drive the choices in how we respond. We work on empowering students to embark upon this discovery of self-worth and validity. No matter how others may see them, they are the ones in charge of manifesting their values by how they live. The right kind of values produce better communities. Upon release, students are presented with a HOPE/VALUE case filled with valuable items to encourage them to be valuable members of their community as they re-enter society.
