Mastery
This program will continue the mission of FDOC Bureau of Education by reducing recidivism and aiding Inmates who are due for reentry within 1 to 3 years to become self-sufficient, economically stable, and productive members of society. We do this by providing professional support for Inmates who are artists and helping them to become Entrepreneurs. Formerly incarcerated individuals can participate as well.
We Were Here

Through a series of theatrical productions, audiences will experience and learn about forgotten and little-known black history figures, civil rights movements, social justice issues, forgotten black communities, and more.
