About Us

Our Beliefs

We believe in a world where every individual has the opportunity of gaining an education. Our mission is to invest in education as a means of healing. We do that by creating educational programs and providing necessary resources to incarcerated individuals. Did you know that 70% of the prison population struggles to read above a 4th grade level? Our correspondence-based literacy instruction reaches through prison bars to lift and connect us through the power of writing.
