Fair Shake Awarded Wisconsin Community Fund Grant Fair Shake Founder and Director Sue Kastensen is pleased to share some terrific news! The Wisconsin Community Fund has awarded Fair Shake a grant to begin its work building the Areas of Study certification program. The tag line for the program is “Change, not Charity.” It is Fair Shake’s intention to create lasting change. The Wisconsin Community Fund raises money and gives it to groups that are too new, too small or too controversial for mainstream funders. Fair Shake also wishes to thank Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps and Cosmic Egg Studios for their continued support in 2012, and they are also deeply grateful for the private funders who support their work as well! As advertised in Fair Shake’s new brochure, its “Ready for Release” pages are now available on its www.fairshake.net website. Presently they have created two documents: “Preparing for Release” and “First Week.” They also list several state and city reentry guides as well! Sue was invited to participate in the 2012 Viterbo Humanities Symposium: Heroes – Hope and Help. Of course, she used the event as an opportunity to get the word out about reentry ideas and connect with students and the public. Fair Shake is excited to participate in several Correctional Education Association events this year. Sue has submitted proposals to present workshops at the CEA-W State Training Day, Region III & IV CEA Conference, and International CEA Conference. Fair Shake’s Areas of Study program is being developed in consideration of the possibility of working with these correctional teachers around the country. http://www.ceanational.org/phorum/read.php?3,1637,1637#msg-1637 Sat, 25 May 2013 15:49:02 -0400 Phorum 5.2.7 http://www.ceanational.org/phorum/read.php?3,1637,1637#msg-1637 http://www.ceanational.org/phorum/read.php?3,1637,1637#msg-1637
