We are inviting students/alumni and HEP program directors/instructors to complete a brief screening survey. The screening survey helps us identify individuals who may be eligible to participate in the needs assessment.
Eligible individuals will receive a follow-up email with more information about participating.
We are also seeking individuals who are interested in participating in an interview. You can indicate your interest on the screening survey.
The EnGAge Needs Assessment is designed to better understand experiences related to higher education and training during incarceration and after release in Georgia.
The information collected will help identify:

Your participation can help ensure that the needs assessment reflects the voices and experiences of those most closely connected to this work.
