each one, teach one program

This is designed to significantly aid individuals reentering society from prison or jail, focusing on their educational and vocational aspirations. By providing a comprehensive support system, this program helps former inmates to pursue further education or trade careers, thus reducing their likelihood of recidivism. The initiative facilitates connections with community colleges, universities, and University of California campuses, ensuring access to a range of academic and career pathways. Importantly, it also caters to those with disabilities by linking them with the Department of Rehabilitation (DOR) services. These services, which are fully funded, offer specialized support tailored to their needs. The core philosophy of the program is that by empowering individuals with education and vocational skills, they are better equipped to reintegrate into society, secure employment, and lead a fulfilling life post-incarceration. This approach not only benefits the individuals directly involved but also contributes to the broader social goal of reducing prison reentry rates, thereby fostering a more inclusive and rehabilitative society.
