Wyoming Pathways from Prison

10/22/2026

One of the most exciting events of the year for Pathways was receiving a large grant to expand into the Wyoming State Penitentiary. This will allow us to offer our degree program to incarcerated folks at all security levels - offering education to those who may need it the most. One of our core beliefs is that education is the best form of correction available. Please use our link in the comments to contribute to our Giving Day campaign, and Read more about the expansion here:

On August 21st, we celebrated our first graduation at Wyoming Women's Center, where six students received the Bachelor's of General Studies degree. We will be graduating another cohort in the Summer of 2027 from Wyoming Medium Correctional Institute, and will soon be expanding to Wyoming State Penitentiary. Please help us make more graduations happen by donating this Giving Day.

This Giving Day, we are reminded why our program exists. Approximately 95% of incarcerated individuals will be re-released into their communities. In the Wyoming community, these folks will largely end up as our neighbors and community members. Pathways is not simply and investment into the prisons, but rather an investment into the Wyoming community as a whole.
