Upskilling and Education for EVERY Incarcerated Person in America with the founder of edovo Brian Hill
#39: This week on Rise Recover Live, we revisit our powerful episode with Brian Hill, the founder and CEO of Edovo. Edovo is an organization that provides robust educational, vocational, and rehabilitative curriculums and content to incarcerated people.
While growing up, Brian’s father taught classes at a prison in California and would come home and read the essays written by his pupils as bedtime stories to his kids. Brian recounts how he could feel the hope emanating out of each of those essays. Now, Brian has dedicated his life to bringing folks daily access to education and programming, so anyone who wants to take a shot at turning their life around has the tools and resources to do so.
Tune into the episode to learn more about Brian and Edovo, and more!
