RED is dedicated to keeping people out of the criminal justice system - permanently - through programs that enhance the social, civic, and financial literacy of individuals referred to court.
The Problem: The United States makes up 5% of the world’s population yet holds 25% of the world’s prisoners. In Georgia, our incarceration rate is 31% higher than the national average with 53,000 people behind bars. 40% of Georgians have a criminal record. We also lead the nation with over 200,000 people on probation which is 321% higher than the national average. In Georgia, approximately 2 out of 3 people released from prison are rearrested within three years.
RED is solving the problem by creating a classroom atmosphere inside the courtroom and treats program participants as students rather than criminals. RED’s curriculum is structured to develop a student’s social, civic and financial literacy through task-oriented learning, engaging workshops, and interactive educational modules.
Students are paired with appropriate mentors based on our individual-needs intake assessment. Mentors support students in their personal development and guide them in the completion of program requirements. Upon graduation, student’s records are expunged and they are referred to higher education institutions and/or employment opportunities.
#GivingTuesday is on December 1, 2020 and it is even more important for RED than ever before. In prior years, our Annual Flag Football Fundraiser has raised approximately $20k - $25k. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we were forced to cancel the event this year.
We need your help to reach our Goal of raising $25k on #GivingTuesday to replace the funds from our Flag Football Fundraiser on this #GivingTuesday! This allows us avoid having to cut any programs or reduce the number of participants we can help in 2021.
We sincerely THANK YOU for your support
Your generosity is helping us Rehabilitate and Enable Dreams!
