Witness to Mass Incarceration (WMI) is our affiliated entrepreneurial and job training program for the formerly incarcerated and justice-impacted. To date, WMI has helped hundreds of participants learn valuable vocational skills, start their own enterprises, and get a fresh start through expert instruction and robust support systems.
The current cohort includes a special emphasis on LGBTQ+ youth, women, and the migrant community. At our facility upstairs from the Entrepreneur Space commercial kitchen, these students are learning both tailoring skills and the fashion business.
Traditional re-entry programs don't go far enough. But this innovative program provides a launchpad for participants to create their own prosperous future – and by caring for the whole person, we've seen a remarkable 0% recidivism.
