Transformation and Reentry Through Education and Community (TREC)

TREC envisions a world with less harm and more abundance, where everyone has access to transformative higher educational opportunities. With core commitments to student agency and collective study, we offer rigorous bachelor degree and supportive academic reentry programs built to disrupt cycles of incarceration while strengthening students’ self-confidence and connections to their families, communities, and the world at large.
