Dismantling the School to Prison Pipeline w/ Peace of Hope (Southwest)


Adult Enrichment / Trips, Tours & Special Events -
Adult Enrichment Fall 2025

The metaphor 'school to prison pipeline' refers to minor students who are Black (and other minorities) having zero-tolerance policies imposed on them and then being excessively punished (suspended, expelled, etc.) for behavioral issues, ultimately leading them to the road to incarceration.

In this workshop, we will learn, discuss and create new possible policy solutions to dismantle the school to prison pipeline in MN.

A portion of the proceeds will go to support the work of Peace of Hope.

This event will take place at New Branches located at 5011 S 31st Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55417.

If event is sold out, please register for our wait list. We will notify you if tickets become available.

Workshops and Programs

We believe in Maslow's Theory of being whole by starting with basic needs: Continuing communication with your incarcerated loved one is a basic need. Transportation, Housing, Food, Clothing, Voting, Employment, Healing and other basic needs are met through partnerships that Peace of Hope, Inc. has established.

More than 93% of persons in prison will be released someday. Peace of Hope, Inc. has opportunities for the families and neighborhoods receiving their families with information, tools and resources. Since 2012, Peace of Hope, Inc. continues to be instrumental in working to keep family bonds remaining unbroken if incarceration occurs.
