About Frames Prison Program
Started in 2017, Brink runs this innovative educational program in women’s prisons in the U.S. and UK. Using comics as a way to court low-literacy and reluctant readers, we help students distill a single turning point in their lives into a short graphic memoir. This process works to tackle personal trauma, increase self-sufficiency, and help students gain the tools they need to get out, and stay out, of prison. Beginning in October 2023, we will be partnering with reintegration organizations to bring this work to formerly incarcerated adults and teenagers as part of a reintegration support system.
The Mission for this Position
Frames Instructors will shepherd new systems for one of our largest educational programs: Frames Prison Program.
Frames instructors will work with our education team to implement our new curricula. In addition to spearheading new curriculum onsite with our established community partners, instructors will also work with our Education Program Manager to create education networks and expand our programs into Colorado communities where need has been identified.
