Past Projects

Scholarship Database

We have complied a database of potential scholarships and educational opportunities for incarcerated individuals and their families following incarceration. (include more- how many scholarships, whether they can access it within prison,

SCI Learning Community

The majority of our team has been attending a learning community within southeastern correctional facility in Lancaster, Ohio. Initially, we took a course through OPEEP and taught by Dr. Amy Shuster called The Philosophy of Happiness. Afterward, we participated in a learning community, engaging with incarcerated community through discussions regarding profound philosophical questions. It has been in incredibly inspiring experience for all parties involved, and suggestions made by the incarcerated community inspired the members of Project PEER to create the scholarship database.

ORW Learning Community

Our team was able to attend 2 sessions before the learning community was shut down.
