Free. Open exclusively to school groups from the School District of Philadelphia. To book, email [email protected].

Reflect on some of the many structural challenges women face when returning home from prison. During this hands-on experience, you’ll be assigned a fictitious back story and persona then encounter simulated scenarios that mirror real-life tasks like finding a job, reporting to a parole office, and paying bills. At the end of the activity, you’ll debrief your experience and discuss the criminal justice system and complexities of reentry. In partnership with Why Not Prosper.

Email [email protected] with questions or to book. Capacity is limited. Transportation scholarships of up to $400 are available. Click here to apply for a bus scholarship.
