YSU United Purpose II

YSU United Purpose II United Purpose student organization began inside Trumbull Correctional Institute with the thought that education can serve as a guide for transition.

United Purpose is a Youngstown State University student service organization whose goal is to help people who are or have been incarcerated to pursue an education. "Only the educated are free", quoted from Epicurus serves as the mantra to this day. The organization then expanded into United Purpose II, which is our campus organization. United Purpose II is based on YSU campus, providing mentoring

and connection to community resources for individuals who have been released from prison and are interested in furthering their education, thereby becoming productive citizens within their community and society at large. Our "united purpose" is to serve ex-offenders and the community by reducing recidivism and easing the transition between institutional and campus life.

I attended the wrap up meeting for Relay for Life and we discussed the pros and cons of the event. I was able to turn in our last donation at the meeting. Their are some discussions of possibly moving the event to another location due to the lack of electricity and the in ability to sell food if you have any ideas please let me know so i can forward the to the committee for next year.
