COVID-19 AND THE INSIDE-OUT TRAINING INSTITUTE UPDATE

Welcome to the 2021–2022 Inside-Out Training Institute

Due to COVID-19, The Inside-Out Center has temporarily changed its method of conducting trainings to a virtual platform. We began the new process in August 2020 and, to date, all sessions have had a full complement and have gone very well. We invite returning citizens who were involved in Inside-Out during their incarceration to participate in our training sessions. 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 the current training schedule. It will be updated in the near future.
