“The guys who complete the Another Way To Go program don’t come back to prison.”
Founded in 1988, Another Way To Go was created by Mahin Bina with the vision of ending violence without violence.
Since 1990, AWTG has been the longest running Department of Corrections program in Pennsylvania, with thousands of participants completing the Leadership Training and Transformational Thinking Workshop.
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.
Creating Community Leaders Outside of Prison
The Freedom by Design involves returning citizens leading groups, coaching participants to become leaders in their own communities through interactive sessions that focus on current issues. The program encourages participants to rediscover their pre-incarceration interests and passions.
Granting Scholarships to Further Education
The Mahin Bina Memorial Scholarship encourages returning citizens, men or women formerly incarcerated in a U.S. state or federal correctional institution, to further their education and demonstrate leadership in their communities. It can be applied towards any degree or certification.
