The Prison Entrepreneurship Program (PEP) transforms the lives of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated men through their In-Prison Leadership Academy and post-release services and support. Their vision is to expand a community of accountability and encouragement until every inmate who is truly committed to change has the choice and the chance to reboot his life.
PEP builds this community with an army of volunteers who share a passion for education, mentoring, and entrepreneurship. These volunteers offer extensive post-release services to program participants, including housing, transportation, regular counseling and advice, a support network, social events, and emergency financial assistance.
