Systems impacted Youth College Fund

The Systems Impacted Youth College Fund was created to support students in stage II of the Incarceration to College Program.
Incarceration to College is a college outreach program from the Berkeley Underground Scholars Initiative for in-custody and out-of-custody youth. We provide a comprehensive program that assists justice-impacted youth from the moment of interaction all the way through their college careers. When our students get out they need help.  

So here's the breakdown: 

Each Student receives two case managers and attends weekly meetings to help support them in their re-entry navigation.

$1000- gets a student a new laptop and a WiFi hotspot.

$1500- gives a student a $500 stipend, gets a student a new laptop and a WiFi hotspot.

$12,200- pays a student a $500 weekly stipend for  4 months, a new phone, a month of unlimited phone service, and, a laptop.
 
$28,000- pays a student a $500 weekly stipend for  4 months, a new phone, a month of unlimited phone service, and, a laptop.

All donations will be split among students.  Let's go!!!


Research suggests that although over 90% of juveniles want to obtain a college degree less than 10% will ever receive a college degree. Research also shows that education helps to support incarcerated to feel empowered and create sustainable lifestyles.  These numbers are staggering and enlightening. As a previously incarcerated person, I recognize that something must be done to bridge the educational aspirations of justice-impacted youth to real-life attainment of college degrees.
