Popular topics requested by people in prison
Entrepreneurship
Many people in prison want to learn how to start a business to support themselves and their families after release. To meet this need, we create entrepreneurship guides tailored to the needs of incarcerated people to improve their chances of success when released. People love our entrepreneurship guides!
Job training
Vocational job training materials are also highly requested. People in prison want to support themselves when released. Our job training guides are made specifically for people in prison to gain important skills while on the inside so they can prepare for a more successful reentry.
Personal development
Level creates guides that help develop the whole person, including visual art and meditation. These guides help to strengthen the self and improve relations with others while reducing the stress of prison life and bringing important moments of peace and clarity.

Our program keeps you connected. Receive a text message or email each time we send new content and each time a guide is completed and a new certificate is earned. We keep an eye on your learner, too. We check where each person is located before sending each guide, as we know people are moved often.
I very much appreciate the service that Level provides. I truly enjoy being able to continue to learn and prepare for when I am able to leave prison and jump back into the world full steam ahead with all the knowledge I have gained. It is by God's grace we can help one another.

Recommendation score, in the “World Class” range according to Qualtrics
It means a lot to get training. It's something you can use when you get out, and people look at that as a stepping stone. You have a certificate, you can go get a job, ‘cause a lot of places want us to have certificates and y'all are helping people that others are shutting the door to. That really impacted me.
