Our team
Facilitators
We create the curriculum, business and law school partnerships, organizational connections, tools, resources, and platform for our community to step into the future with a focus on access and delivery.
Engaged collaborators
We actively listen to our learners, instructors and community. We also tap into industry trends and data to ensure we deliver on our promise of education, networking and career mobility opportunities.
Conscientious curators
Our community of current and formerly incarcerated individuals is our number one priority. We strive to create a safe place for growth and connection in collaboration with our community and peers.
Resilience Education Team
Building on a range of experiences in higher education, non-profit organizations and the tech industry, our team works to reconstruct the narratives about what people with records can achieve.
