Our Adult Education Second Chance program, at the Niagara County Jail, recently completed a cool project. Teacher Paul Dewey worked with inmates to improve their essential job readiness training by making little libraries and food pantries. The program provides incarcertated students the opportunity to take classes and training to increase their chances of employment after release. The little libraries and food pantries will be distributed around the community.
