What is Transitions?
The mission of the Transitions Program is to provide access to higher education to individuals released from the California criminal justice system, and create a smooth transition from prison to the community college.
What is the goal of the program?
The goal of our program is to assist individuals on parole to re-integrate into society
by pursuing their goal of beginning or continuing college. Through a College Success
class and peer mentoring, students explore practical strategies for empowering themselves
to become active, responsible and lifelong learners. During the program, students
will complete a journey of self-discovery that will help prepare them to make wise
choices both in a college setting and in life outside of the college environment.
