Make 2025 a Year of Impact
If you’re looking for a way to create real change in 2025, the Prison Entrepreneurship Program offers a variety of ways to get involved. Whether you want to give, volunteer, or spread the word, your support directly helps men in prison build new futures through leadership, education, and entrepreneurship.
Here are five ways you can make a meaningful difference this year.
1. Make a One-Time or Monthly Donation
Financial support helps fund everything from in-prison classes to reentry housing and startup coaching. Monthly gifts provide reliable, year-round support and help PEP plan ahead. Every contribution matters and is put to immediate use.
2. Volunteer Your Expertise
PEP relies on business professionals, educators, and community leaders to serve as mentors, coaches, and competition judges. Volunteers can get involved inside prison units or post-release, depending on location and availability. If you have time and experience, PEP has a place for you.
3. Share PEP’s Mission
Raising awareness is a powerful form of support. Share a blog post, video, or alumni story with your network. Follow PEP on social media and engage with our content throughout the year. Small actions often open the door to bigger ones.
4. Sponsor a Participant or Event
Looking for a high-impact way to give? Sponsor a participant’s journey through the program or help fund a graduation, business plan competition, or reentry workshop. Sponsorship opportunities are available for individuals and organizations.
5. Hire or Refer a PEP Graduate
One of the most direct ways to support reentry success is to provide employment opportunities. PEP graduates are reliable, coachable, and prepared to work. If your business is hiring or if you can make a referral, your action could change a life.
Start Where You Are
No matter how you choose to support PEP in 2025, your involvement matters. You can help someone transform their future, reconnect with their family, and contribute to their community. Take the first step today.
