Formerly Incarcerated College Graduates Network Membership
Join the Formerly Incarcerated College Graduates Network by completing this form.

FICGN is a national network of over 1000 formerly incarcerated college graduates in 44 states. It includes people from varied educational backgrounds-- AA to JD/PhD/PsyD/EdD as well as careers ranging from staff members to State and Federal Administrators, a Mayor, Executive Directors, Attorneys, Professors, and a College President.

We expect this network will provide a space for collective power to develop through professional connections and sharing of opportunities and accomplishments as well as general academic and career support. As we connect and share our stories privately and publicly, we also change the social narrative surrounding incarceration to lessen stigma and create hope for those reentering. Lastly, we’ll have a chance to band together to promote public policies that lessen the burdens we see with these lifelong felony backgrounds.

VISION
We envision a society in which formerly incarcerated people of all races, genders, sexual orientations, and offense types pursue their dreams as educated and empowered citizens with valued experiences. We see a world in which we have the rights and opportunities needed to make important contributions to our communities and beyond.

MISSION
Our mission is to promote the education and empowerment of formerly incarcerated people through a collective community.

We do so by:
* Strengthening social networks of formerly incarcerated people
* Creating spaces for formerly incarcerated people to share and discuss ideas
* Changing social perceptions of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people
* Changing incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people’s views of themselves
* Promoting and supporting prison and post-prison education
