Claflin’s Pathways from Prison Program 

Mission Statement 

Claflin’s Pathways from Prison Program, a key program housed under our

Center for Social Justice, similarly embodies a number of Claflin’s

guiding principles, most importantly Commitment to Valuing People.

At Claflin we value people by providing a safe, wholesome and

healthy environment that fosters mutual respect, diversity, and inclusion.

 Our Pathways from Prison Program aims:

- to serve as a resource for all to unite, educate, and advocate against
 injustices that impact our community and state, 
particularly as it relates to education, careers, and housing;

- to support and engage students, faculty,
and staff to be transformational leaders in their communities,
specifically as they assist individuals who are currently or formerly incarcerated;

- to develop innovative curriculum, encourage creative expression
and thought, and cultivate programs that engage, affirm, and uplift
those most impacted by systems of oppression,
specifically educational, career, and housing oppression; and

- to expand relationships and partnerships between the greater
Orangeburg community, South Carolina, the United States of America,
and the world, particularly as it relates to education, career, and
housing programming for individuals who are
currently or formerly incarcerated.
