2021 Goals
2022 Goals
During our second year, we will double our enrollment, welcoming a new class of twenty FREED Scholars. We will also strengthen and renew community partnerships. This year we will also host our first FREED Texas Criminal Justice Convention where the field’s top minds will congregate and discuss modern solutions to systemic problems.
2023 Goal
2023 Greats is with great goals. Our program will continue to work towards developing structures and practices to measure results and replicate success. We look forward to completing 3 Cohorts and hosting many events to continue to raise awareness to the issues that impact recidivism.
In our first year as a nonprofit corporation, we aim to enroll an inaugural class of ten FREED Scholars. As we expand, we will hire and train more staff, conduct multiple focus groups, and identify faith-based partnerships. This year we will build the structure that will carry our mission into the next decade.
