🌟 Join us at the NCORE Conference! 🌟 We are excited to share our work at our workshop, "Berkeley Underground Scholars: Closing the Distance from Prison to Campus and Beyond." Berkeley Underground Scholars is dedicated to closing the distance for incarcerated students by providing essential support through A-G high school credits, primary and postsecondary education in youth and adult facilities across California. Our program empowers formerly incarcerated students to achieve their educational dreams at the University of California. We are building a prison-to-university pipeline through the five pillars of the Berkeley Underground Scholars program model: recruitment, retention, advocacy, wellness, and career services. Come learn about our work and how to get started serving incarcerated and formerly incarcerated students. Presenters: - Danny Murillo - Shani Shay - Michael Cerda-Jara - Azadeh Zohrabi Don't miss this informative and inspiring session! #NCORE2024 #UndergroundScholars #SchoolsNotPrisons #EducationForAll #PrisonToUniversity #HigherEducation #FormerlyIncarceratedStudents #EducationalEquity #UCBerkeley #NCORE
