PSU Rebound Support Advocate

AmeriCorps Portland, OR

C2C is partnering with Oregon Project Rebound. This position is only open for students enrolled in the PSU Rebound Program. Rebound program allows students to work towards a degree while experiencing incarceration and to be able to quickly and easily matriculate to the PSU campus upon release, while receiving the supports needed to be successful. The plan is to continue to develop a degree pathway for women, trans-identified and gender non-conforming adults in custody (AICs). This will be the first higher education degree pathway for incarcerated women in this state. This partnership reflects the experiences and collective voices of incarcerated students themselves, through the involvement and support of Rubicon GPS, comprising more than a dozen people in custody at Coffee Creek who formed this group to advocate for access to educational opportunities while serving their sentences.
