Have you heard about Televerde Foundation’s PATHS program at Florida’s Homestead Correctional Institution? This initiative equips incarcerated women with personal development and career skills. Notably, this program is led by formerly incarcerated women who have built successful careers. "The launch of our new PATHS Workforce Development Center in Florida has been an incredible success and marks a significant step forward in our mission to create brighter futures for incarcerated women. We are grateful to Virgin Unite for its unwavering support and belief in our vision. Together, we are empowering women with the tools, education, and opportunities they need to thrive—both inside and beyond prison walls," said Michelle Cirocco, Executive Director of Televerde Foundation.
