Our Mission
To connect men and women who have been incarcerated or have had involvement with the criminal justice system (probation, alternatives to incarceration, etc.) with opportunities for higher education.
To provide a range of academic and supportive services that promote successful enrollment in college and completion of degrees.
To serve as a guiding force for students to realize their full potential as individuals, family members, informed citizens and community leaders.
CI's work reflects our deep passion and strategic commitment to empower formerly incarcerated men and women to become gainfully employed, stabilizing forces in their communities, advocates for change, role models for youth, and engaged citizens working for a safer New York City.
