Our Programs

  • Transforming the Lives of Inmates Within Prison

    The six-month Leadership Training and Transformational Thinking Program program gives inmates a new context for their lives and emphasizes integrity, forgiveness, and empowerment. Participants identify missing elements like respect and teamwork and design projects to address them.

    -Danny

  • “The AWTG Program has made a big difference in my life style. I choose my way of thinking. I believe more in myself now, which I didn’t before getting in AWTG. I’m a better person now than I was 6 months ago, thanks to AWTG It made a difference for others, because they saw a change in me, my way of thinking, my way of dealing with people around me. They knew then, if AWTG could change me, it can for them.”
