Common Good Atlanta company information, Employees & Contact Information

Common Good Atlanta provides incarcerated people and formerly incarcerated people with broad, democratic access to higher education so they can develop a better understanding of both themselves and the societal forces at work around them. OUR CORE CONVICTIONS ✨ We believe that broad, democratic access to higher education strengthens the common good of communities. ✨ We believe that a college education helps people develop a deeper understanding of both themselves and the societal forces at work around them. ✨ We believe that communities are weakened when access to higher education is restricted on the basis of wealth, privilege, or class. ✨ We believe that higher education can restore dignity and reconnect people to their own humanity, allowing incarcerated people to transform their influence on society from negative to positive.
