We are excited to welcome Alex home after almost 30 years of incarceration! He is only a few courses shy from graduating and transferring to a 4 year University! 👏🏽 “I am so grateful for the BITMI program! Counselor Sergio and the student workers have been a huge help with my college enrollment and transition back into the free world!”
