Escape Into Level

Join us as we escape into Level! We're excited to welcome Alex Wright, Executive Director of Level, to the conversation! Level creates and distributes educational and job training content for people in prison, helping them thrive after release and break the cycle of incarceration. Their programs focus on the unique needs of incarcerated learners and their supporters on the outside, believing in the power of education to transform futures for individuals, families, and communities. Ways Level Make an Impact: Building Career Skills – Providing job training in entrepreneurship, computer science, and internet technology to prepare learners for success after release. Supporting Personal Development – Offering guides in meditation, art, and self-improvement to help learners grow holistically and navigate prison life. Expanding Access to Education – Delivering self-paced, printed guides to learners in over 1,000 correctional facilities, even in maximum security or solitary confinement. How to Get Involved & Earn Some Bragging Rights: Volunteer: Help transcribe handwritten completion forms from incarcerated learners.
