Pathways to Success
PSPI is a bridge that connects families through education and personal development. Our program utilizes evidence-based social-emotional learning to engage students as they continue their education. Incarcerated parents learn the skills needed to develop healthy and whole relationships with their children through parenting classes and workshops. As parents and students come together, families are united and communities are stronger.
Nurturing Relationships
Through PSPI, incarcerated parents build strong relationships with their school-age children. As their children succeed in the classroom, parents are incentivized to continue their own growth behind bars.
Support for Communities
PSPI supports families by uniting prison and education reform. By bridging these systems, we provide opportunities for families to come together and create reform that builds strong & healthy communities.
