Educational Opportunities for Formerly Incarcerated Individuals and people impacted by the criminal legal system

  1. Inside-Out is coordinating free college courses for the spring 2023 semester for people involved in and impacted by the criminal legal system.

Inside-Out coordinates higher education classes with students who are behind the walls along with college campus students. Since the pandemic, we also coordinate college courses with college campus students and formerly incarcerated or justice involved students.

The course this spring semester 2023 is free and online via Zoom. The students do need access to Zoom via the Internet and a working computer/laptop. Credits will be awarded by Arcadia University for the successful completion of the course.

You can contact us at IOclass@temple.edu for additional information or to set up a meeting to discuss class details.
