Systems impacted Youth College Fund
Donation protected
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.
