Unlocking Higher Education
We advocate for the removal of criminal history questions from college applications to expand access to higher education for formerly incarcerated individuals. By eliminating this barrier, we can open pathways to academic programs beyond basic workforce readiness, empowering individuals to pursue broader educational and career goals. Access to diverse fields of study not only supports personal growth and reintegration but also strengthens communities by fostering a more inclusive and educated society.
Navigating College Admissions
We assist individuals with a criminal history in successfully navigating college admissions, providing guidance on addressing application questions and weighing educational options. Our support includes personalized assistance throughout the application process and referrals to community resources when needed. By offering this tailored support, we help justice-impacted individuals access higher education opportunities, paving the way for personal growth, professional advancement, and stronger community connections.
