Formerly Incarcerated College Graduates Network

The Formerly Incarcerated College Graduates Network is an international community of over 1500 individuals who have graduated from college after being incarcerated. With a presence in 44 states and 10 countries, the network's vision is to create a society where all formerly incarcerated individuals, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or offense type, can pursue their aspirations as educated and empowered citizens, contributing positively to their communities. Their mission revolves around promoting education and empowerment through community building, altering social perceptions, and advocating for criminal justice reform. The organization's work is driven by a set of core values, including inclusiveness, diversity, equity, human rights, and respect. Its last investment, a grant, was received on 15th February 2023 from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The Network, founded in 2014, is based in the United States. The organization's accomplishments and mission align with the growing global emphasis on criminal justice reform and social inclusion.
