Transforming Lives Behind & Beyond Prison Walls
NEW YORK CITY

Cost: $1000
Engage with Justice impacted communities in New York City. Partnering with Opus Prize finalist Thrive for Life, this immersion offers a unique opportunity to engage directly with formerly incarcerated individuals transitioning back into society.
Throughout this experience, we will participate in community service projects, attend educational workshops on criminal justice reform, and engage in reflective retreats in correctional facilities across New York and New Jersey. This journey promises to deepen our understanding of systemic issues, foster personal growth, and cultivate a profound sense of purpose. Join us supporting a continuum of care that empowers formerly incarcerated individuals to thrive.
