RoS was the only education and/or job training program offered in the prisons we work in during the COVID-19 pandemic; RoS was able to continue because our program is taught by incarcerated instructors to their peers.

Many RoS incarcerated instructors and students received #Clemency and reduced sentences and were able to come home.

RoS compiled data that show the transformative and enduring impact of our work, including incredibly low rates of recidivism and high rates of employment among our graduates.

Congratulations to Grady & @RootsofSuccess! Especially liked this part of Grady's graduation speech: "As we learn the impact our actions have on this planet, it becomes imperative that speaking up and out is equal to survival."

Since 2008, we have been helping fund the perennial rice research of colleague Fengyi Hu at China’s Yunnan Univ. The partnership has culminated in a new perennial variety, PR23, with yields as high as popular annual varieties. Today, 81 farmers are growing it commercially.
