Educate
PW facilitates trainings to teach adults on how to to be more supportive towards youth impacted by incarceration. We work alongside youth who are sharing their experience to help spread visibility and resources for youth who are affected by the incarceration system.
What We Do
Empower
Overcome
We host weekly programs where youth meet together to discuss their experiences as CIP. Providing a space for youth to have fun, share experiences, and learn from one another. PW believes in youth voice and the importance of youth sharing their experiences, allowing us to be a youth led internship/ program.
The effects of incarceration dont stop with the person who is incarcerated, it spills over to families, friends and the children and young people who are related to the incarcerated individual. Using different forms of art, youth write about their experiences as CIP and start to heal from traumatic experiences.
