“Pathways From Prison to College: California’s Best Practices in Action” highlights programs and organizations throughout the state that are currently implementing California’s Best Practices: Pathways From Prison to College, a resource that lays out detailed strategies to support currently and formerly incarcerated students in their educational journey.

Join The Michelson 20MM Foundation on September 28, 2023, for the first event, which will highlight the University of California, Irvine’s (UCI), Leveraging Inspiring Educational Futures Through Educational Degrees (LIFTED program), the only UC program teaching inside prisons.  As they conclude their first year and begin their second, the UCI LIFTED team will discuss the process of developing their programs, how they are incorporating the Best Practices, and the barriers they have yet to overcome.  

With the goal of ensuring that all currently and formerly incarcerated persons have an equal opportunity to succeed as students and individuals, California’s Best Practices in Action will showcase organizations and programs that are transforming the lives of justice-impacted students throughout the state.
