PRISON EDUCATION TUTORING AND OUTREACH TEAM
PREP provides tutors for The College Initiative Upstate, which seeks to minimize the boundaries between incarceration, reentry, and higher education. This year, the Tutoring and Outreach Team plans is working to expand tutoring opportunities, such as The Petey Greene Program. In addition, the Team is working with Prisoner Express, an organization that sends books and education packets to incarcerated program participants, who in return send us artwork.
