About the Toolkit Project
Based on the continuing success of the SDSU VISTA program with Centinela Correctional Facility, we have created this toolkit to help other practitioners and institution create their own programs.
What is this project and why does it matter?
San Diego State University established the VISTA program in Centinela State Prison in efforts to further their mission of increasing education access and equity. Holistic learning is a critical pillar of this program, and is promoted through evidence-based, student centered approaches. VISTA maintains continuous efforts to foster an inclusive culture, increase visibility on the main campus, and build strong relationships between program stakeholders.
