Join cohost Emma Lugo this Monday on Prison Pipeline for a conversation with Alex Wright, Co-founder and Executive Director of Level, a groundbreaking nonprofit that’s transforming access to prison education across the United States.
While only a small percentage of incarcerated people nationwide have access to educational opportunities—whether GED programs, vocational training, or college-level courses—Level is working to change that. Through an innovative sponsorship model, family members and friends can help connect their loved ones in prison to high-quality educational programs, including courses in Entrepreneurship, Internet Technology, and Food Safety.
In this interview, Alex will share what inspired him to co-found Level, how the organization reaches even those in solitary confinement, and how its programs strengthen family connections and improve post-prison outcomes.
Today, Level operates in more than 1,000 prisons nationwide, helping build brighter futures and reduce recidivism through education and human connection.
Tune in to Prison Pipeline—Monday, October 13th at 6:30pm—on KBOO Community Radio 90.7 FM in Portland and streaming worldwide at kboo.fm.
