Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

We unlock human potential in Americas prisons by providing social support through arts and personal development programs.

  • 2022 was the second year of the Shining Light Academy (SLA) pilot. It is an evidence-based re-entry program designed to lower recidivism. The SLA focuses on transforming participants and prison environments with opportunities to develop and practice prosocial mindsets, behaviors, and associations. The SLA incorporates an interdisciplinary application of research to deliver comprehensive and engaging programming primarily through video conferencing. In addition, the SLA is focused on providing continuity of care by providing graduates with social support throughout their incarceration and upon their release back into the community. As a result, graduates are able to be more successful as they engage with their families, in education/vocational and treatment programs, and with their communities at large.The SLA offered 15 courses in 4 prisons in North Dakota, Pennsylvania, and Ohio in 2022. Graduates increased from 54 individuals in 2021 to 105 in 2022. A Peer-to-Peer support "academy assistant" program was also developed in 2022. The Shining Light newsletter started in 2020. Named The Loop the bi-monthly magazine promotes positive interaction among people in prisons who want to engage in constructive information, activities, and relationships during their incarceration. Designed as an ongoing conversation between incarcerated participants, returned citizens, and staff of Shining Light, content is focused on reinforcing the evidence-based perspectives, tools, and skills of all Shining Light programming. Distribution grew from 841 individuals subscribed to the magazine in December 2021 to 1,880 in December 2022. Bulk copies distributed grew from 1,500 mailed to 60 prisons in 8 states in December 2021 to 3,500 mailed to 61 prisons in 22 states in December 2022.Shining Light's content on electronic tablets was expanded in 2022. SLs creative production capabilities, artist network, and experience in attracting prison audiences have equipped SL to provide high-quality, growth-oriented content that engages individuals in prison on this new and rapidly evolving tool. In 2022 content availability expanded to 240+ prisons in 35 states. Over 10,000 course completions were documented. Partnerships with tablet and software companies and various state administrators to expand the distribution & usage of SL content continue to be developed.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
