At Amity Foundation, we love to celebrate our students, and there's no better cause for celebration than graduations! 👏 Last week, three of our students gained their GED's through @fivekeysschoolsandprograms. This important achievement will help set them up for success when it's their time to return home!

Amity Foundation sends a heartfelt congratulations to our student, Rafaella! 👏 This graduation season she earned her associate's degree in psychology from Chaffey College and is accepting admission into UC Berkeley! While she was incarcerated, Rafaella heard about CCTRP and chose to become a student at La Entrada to embark on her recovery journey. While there she found the opportunity to continue her education and through her determination, she completed her associate's degree in only two semesters!

Transforming San Quentin prison into a rehabilitation and education center is good for public safety! The programs offered give incarcerated individuals the tools and skills needed to return to society successfully. Amity Foundation thanks Governor Gavin Newsom for his leadership on transforming California's prisons. Great coverage from Gianna Toboni for CBS News https://lnkd.in/gC4Si6Xt

Collaborations between the public & private sectors ensure programs that prepare our communities for successful re-entry are fully realized! California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation's partnership with 20 national funders (including Ford Foundation & Meadow Fund) and 200 nonprofit service providers (including Amity Foundation) made their Returning Home Well Housing Project - which provides wraparound services for formerly incarcerated folks - a reality. 📰 Great piece from Kathleen Kelly Janus in Stanford Social Innovation Review about the importance of these partnerships! https://lnkd.in/gB4fNzRS"
