Project Liberation provides a holistic personal-development platform<br />
for women across all stages of criminal justice involvement. Weekly<br />
workshops conducted in 14-week intervals in locations across New York<br />
City provide life coaching, arts-based intervention, yoga, meditation,<br />
and other healing modalities. Within a supportive circle, program participants<br />
are encouraged to reconnect with their own sense of power,<br />
purpose, and possibility while being provided a space where they can<br />

Drive Change is a not-for-profit social enterprise that uses the mobilevending<br />
industry to train, employ, and mentor to formerly incarcerated<br />
young people aged 18–25. This is a full-time commitment for a oneyear<br />
fellowship, and fellows are paid a livable wage to work on our food<br />
truck, Snowday. Only locally sourced ingredients from farms within 150<br />
miles of New York City are used.<br />
Magnificent Men offers workshops, forums, and seminars where men<br />
and youth of all ages can share experiences and concerns. Special<br />
events and conferences address issues such as aging, intimacy, sexuality,<br />
fathering, and career. Participants are encouraged to volunteer time<br />
and energy to community service projects and engage in peer mentoring.<br />
The core soft-skills training for formerly incarcerated men enables<br />
participants to have a smoother transition back into society and the<br />
workplace.<br />
