Hudson Link for Higher Education in Prison

A week after the Village of Ossining established Project MOVER, which provided 50 e-bikes to Ossining residents and visitors, our alumni jumped at the opportunity to participate and become certified trainers! The pilot, funded by NYSERDA’s Clean Transportation Prize program, offers affordable mobility that can operate easily over Ossining’s hilly terrain for the Village’s predominately low-income Latino and Black population. It will also advance Ossining’s goal of becoming the greenest village in the nation by increasing bike and transit trips and decreasing driving trips and carbon emissions. We'd want to thank our amazing staff and alumni for spearheading this endeavor with all involved parties. A special thank you to Drusilla van Hengel for her encouragement and effort to making this pilot a success. Now, who wants to race? 😎🚴 #ProjectMOVER #Transporatation #Ossining #HudsonLink

Inspiring Work!

Last Thursday, we had a great time celebrating the incredible accomplishments of our amazing faculty members that represent Hudson Link at their respective facilities. Without these incredible educators, we would not be able to accomplish this transformative work. Many thanks to our entire staff for making this appreciation dinner one to remember. #FacultyAppreciationDinner #HudsonLink #ThankYou

We are thrilled to witness the emergence of transportation options in the community of Ossining. This would not have been possible without your invaluable assistance. You truly are remarkable! 😀 Drusilla van Hengel

As a new member of the coalition of the Center for Community Alternatives(CCA), The Pillars of Promise co-founder Mujahideen Muhammad along with Youth Development specialist Andre Patterson joined CCA’s Ismael Diaz and Patrick Stephens at ConBody to garner support for Second Look Act legislation and related bills. A lot of individuals and organizations in our society are in similar spaces doing meaningful work but how many of us are working together to bring about the type of whole-scale changes our various systems need? We need ever-expanding coalitions based on shared values and interests.

"No matter what you've experienced, don't let your past dictate your future." On this Motivational Monday, we take a journey to Baton Rouge, where GEO Reenetry Services is making a difference in the lives of recently released people. Through their courses, they are helping these individuals regain their confidence and reconnect with their community. Experience their joy right here: https://lnkd.in/gfhiUcJx

An extraordinary opportunity presents itself at #BeyondtheBlock when Michael Tineo, a well-known orator, advocate, and Hudson Link alumnus, speaks with Daniel Martuscello III, commissioner of the New York Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS). Within the confines of Sing Sing, both candidly share their thoughts on relevant topics, such as the current state of New York State’s correctional institutions, the significance of initiatives such as Hudson Link, and how to support New York State’s incarcerated population. #higheredinprison #nyc #hudsonlink #incarceratedlivesmatter
