Our Programs

  • Young woman with curly hair wearing an orange shirt, with sunlight casting a shadow across her face, standing in a dark room with a window in the background.

    Transforming the Lives of Inmates Within Prison

    The six-month Leadership Training and Transformational Thinking Program program gives inmates a new context for their lives and emphasizes integrity, forgiveness, and empowerment. Participants identify missing elements like respect and teamwork and design projects to address them.

  • A support group meeting with diverse participants sitting in a circle, and one person offering comfort by placing a hand on another person's shoulder.

    Creating Community Leaders Outside of Prison

    The Freedom by Design involves returning citizens leading groups, coaching participants to become leaders in their own communities through interactive sessions that focus on current issues. The program encourages participants to rediscover their pre-incarceration interests and passions.

    Granting Scholarships to Further Education

    The Mahin Bina Memorial Scholarship encourages returning citizens, men or women formerly incarcerated in a U.S. state or federal correctional institution, to further their education and demonstrate leadership in their communities. It can be applied towards any degree or certification.

Meet Ricardo: A Story of Transformation

  • “As a result of AWTG I’m back with my family. I learned trust and responsibility.”

    -Shelley

  • “The AWTG has given me the tools that allow me to believe more in myself. To not let anything stop me from my goals.”

    -Danny

  • "I believe more in myself now. I'm a better person than I was 6 months ago. Others saw the change in me and knew — if AWTG could change me, it can change them too."

    -Darrell

  • “It has opened my mind and heart. I’ve been able to better monitor my thoughts. I don’t look to just help others; I now look to empower them.”

    -G Q

  • “I didn’t think I could make it on the outside, now I know I can.”

    -Danielle

  • “By taking and applying the tools and coaching learned in the AWTG Program I have already been able to develop better relationships with family, friends, and acquaintances. I have a more positive attitude and view myself as the person who can make a difference.”

    -Rudi
