After more than a decade of connecting incarcerated individuals with volunteers, Adopt an Inmate is expanding its focus on educational partnerships, mentorship, and community engagement through our growing Letters From Prison: In the Classroom initiative. Learn about the next chapter of our work and how educators, students, and community partners can get involved.
Sometimes we have to step back from talking about the work in order to do the work. We’re back with updates on a North Carolina field visit, new volunteer opportunities, exciting educational partnerships, the Blueprint app, Bee-Fest, and what’s coming next at Adopt an Inmate.
In our latest presentation, we explore the stark realities of mass incarceration and the simple truth that every statistic hides a human story. Watch the full video inside.
This Giving Tuesday, we’re asking for something small that makes an enormous impact. A single letter, a volunteer, or one message of hope can change someone’s safety and sense of worth inside a prison. Your gift today keeps those lifelines alive and helps us reach the people too often left behind.
