COVID-19 AND THE INSIDE-OUT TRAINING INSTITUTE UPDATE

Welcome to the 2024 Inside-Out Training Institute

Due to COVID-19, The Inside-Out Center changed its method of conducting trainings to a virtual platform. We began the new process in August 2020 and, to date, all sessions have gone very well. We invite returning citizens who were involved in Inside-Out during their incarceration or participated in an Inside-Out Class to participate in our training sessions and they come from different parts of the country and international locations, as well. 

Until further notice, we will continue our virtual model and will only change back to in-person training sessions when we are able to re-enter prisons. Even after we begin in-person / in-prison trainings again, we will continue to offer some virtual trainings as an alternative option. 

 Below is a list of the 2024 training schedule and it will be updated as needed.
