Teachers College Leads Rikers Island Women Education Program
A $626000 grant funds Teachers College at Columbia to run an education program for inmates, teachers, and corrections staff at New York Correctional Institution for Women on Rikers Island. The initiative creates modules, aids post release follow up, and opens a community center in Amsterdam Avenue storefronts for continued support by ex-offenders and college staff.
