Popular topics requested by people in prison
Entrepreneurship
Many people in prison in Minnesota want to learn how to start a business to support themselves and their families after release. To meet this need, Level creates 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 by people in prison in Minnesota. Incarcerated people want to support themselves when released. Level custom creates job training guides made specifically for people in prison to gain important skills while on the inside.
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 in Minnesota and bringing important moments of peace and clarity.

Follow along
Level 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've been incarcerated since the age of 17, I am now 41, and it's places like Level that give people like me hope. The guides are insightful - I have learned a lot. I read the last one four times and frequently re-read to remember what I learned. A person told me about Level, so it's only right that I tell others.

I truly appreciate Level's learning tools and certificates for my husband. It gives him a great appreciation for the educational skills and certificates he gets while in prison. He would be lost without the guidance he receives! We appreciate your organization!
