Alliance for Higher Education in Prison

Over the last fiscal year, the Alliance for Higher Education in Prison expanded its support by hosting workshops, adding over 50 documents to its library, and creating a jobs board. They strengthened community relationships through virtual and in-person events, including pell webinars and the 13th annual national conference on Higher Education in Prison (nchep). The Alliance welcomed four new team members and launched Education in action (eia) to offer paid internships and fellowships to incarcerated individuals. They also published the second volume of the journal of Higher Education in Prison and were awarded a w.k. Kellogg foundation grant for research on policies affecting incarcerated individuals. The Alliance successfully separated from their fiscal sponsor, obtaining 501(c)(3) status, and is seeking further funding for its initiatives.
