Check out more of our past endeavors:
This initiative exposes young men and women, ages 14 and up, to powerful testimonies from imprisoned residents and a tour of Grafton Reintegration Center, courtesy of their Dope is for Dopes program. Subsequently, the teenagers are given an opportunity to envision an alternate path, normally with a tour of a large university that provides a plethora of educational options.
In 2018, we opted to expose the students to an in-depth view of their history. A riveting tour of the one and only Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History captivated, encouraged and educated the teens to behold the plight of ancestral experiences that led to where we are today.

We have had an incredible collaboration with the community as donations were collected to supply teens with breakfast, lunch, transportation, and exposure with tours to both Grafton prison and The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History... all for absolutely FREE!
