THE COLLEGE AND COMMUNITY FELLOWSHIP
PROGRAM (CCF)
The mission of the College and Community Fellowship (CCF) is to
eliminate the individual and social barriers to education and civic
participation of formerly incarcerated men and women and their
families. Through our myriad activities and programs, CCF addresses
the educational, economic, and political needs of formerly
incarcerated women and men in the NY metropolitan area, working in
concert with other organizations to enhance their successful
re-entry.
CCF Goals
- Strengthen and expand our educational program, including
mentoring, tuition support, and academic support of formerly
incarcerated men and women
- Address the expanding career development needs of our
fellows, alumni, and other formerly incarcerated people who are
seeking employment that is congruent with their levels of
education
- Link with local, state, and federal reentry agencies and
criminal justice organizations to explore the development of a
local and national agenda promoting education as an alternative
in and after prison
- Develop the leadership of CCF fellows as part of local and
national criminal justice reform organizations, coalitions, and
networks
