Invite us to speak!
Former students and graduates of NYU’s Prison Education Program speak in classrooms and at public events to discuss prison education, life after incarceration, policy, current events, the courts system, probation, law; and offer a deep personal understanding of the long-term and collateral effects of the prison industrial complex in America. Participants of the PEP Speakers Bureau are passionate about using their story as a tool for change and to give back to their communities. We believe that all speakers should be compensated for their time. Students have spoken in classrooms at NYU including: the Stern School of Business, Silver School of Social Work, College of Public Health and frequently meet with student groups on campus.

- Civic Engagement Conference, The Spence School (K-12)
