OUR MISSION
WHAT DRIVES US
HOPE is a group of University of Washington Students who are dedicated to encouraging post-secondary education programs inside prisons. Our aim is to raise public awareness surrounding the need for more educational opportunities and to help make education more accessible to inmates.
|
OUR HISTORY
HOW WE GOT STARTED
During a group of UW students' visits to study with students in the Monroe Correctional Complex (MCC), the desire to better the state of educations in prison grew. We realize the importance and thirst for education in prisons.
In one short period, a group of 20 MCC and UW students already made a change. We can do more. |
OUR WORK
IMPACTING OUR COMMUNITY

On-Going Work:
From now until the end of June 2017, HOPE will be raising funds to provide scholarships for inmates at the Twin Rivers Unit at the Monroe Correctional Complex to take these invaluable correspondence education courses.
Our $5000 goal is to allow for 10 individuals to take one class each. They will be taking these classes through established and reliable institutions (for example, the new correspondence courses offered through Seattle Central College or the long-established courses offered by Ohio University) which are on average, $500 per class. The exposure to even a single course can make a world of difference. Please help us to reach our goal to create more opportunities for incarcerated students who are seeking to make real changes in their lives. We thank you for your support and contributions, which will cover tuition, books, and supplies.
