Project Read Plus

Research shows that inmates who are educated are 43 percent less likely to return to prison.

We partner with the Macon County Jail to help inmates improve their literacy skills before they reenter our community. In turn, these individuals are better equipped to succeed in future education and employment opportunities.

Our program is never the end goal for our students. We recently heard from a former student who is a recent graduate from Richland Community College.

She came to Project Read Plus with a strong work ethic and the desire to succeed. We had the right tools to help her increase her skills so she could reach her goal.

We are so proud of her success!

We have the seen the hard work and dedication it takes to become a nurse from many of our current and former students. We are grateful for nurses today and every day as they help our community stay safe and healthy!
