THIS YEAR WE HIRED A NEW COORDINATOR TO FOCUS ON REENTRY AND WORK CLOSELY WITH FEMALE STUDENTS TO PREPARE THEM FOR RELEASE.SHE ALSO WORKED WITH THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN RELEASED TO ENSURE THEY HAVE THE BEST CARE AND SKILLS AS THEY REENTER FREE SOCIETY.THE PROJECT FATIMA TEAM ALSO WORKED WITH THE WIVES AND CHILDREN OF INCARCERATED TAYBA STUDENTS TO PROVIDE THE SUPPORT THEY NEED WHILE THEIR LOVED ONE IS INCARCERATED.-SUPPORT FOR SISTERS WHETHER THEY ARE IN PRISON OR OUTSIDE, TAYBAS PROJECT FATIMA HAS BEEN HELPING SISTERS AFFECTED BY INCARCERATION ACROSS THE US. THIS INCLUDES (BUT NOT LIMITED TO): HUNDREDS OF COACHING HOURS FOR SISTERS IN DISTRESS. REGULAR EVENTS LIKE QURAN READINGS, VIRTUAL SOCIAL EVENTS, AND CLASSES. EMERGENCY ASSISTANT TO GET SISTERS OFF THE STREETS OR OUT OF COMPROMISING SITUATIONS. COLLABORATIONS WITH ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE US TO HELP CREATE AND IMPROVE PROGRAMS FOR SISTERS. DEVELOPED CASE FILES FOR SISTERS IN MORE VULNERABLE SITUATIONS AND HAD VOLUNTEERS AND PROFESSIONALS ASSIST AND REVIEW ACTION PLANS. -$42,213 IN DIRECT ASSISTANCE TO PROJECT FATIMA CLIENTS INCLUDING: RENT ASSISTANCE, PAYMENT OF UTILITIES, DEBT RELIEF, EID GIFTS, GAS WORK CLOTHES, TEMPORARY HOUSING, PERSONAL CARE ITEMS, COMMUNICATION, AND TUITION. -TOOK PART IN WORKING TOWARDS LEGISLATION THAT POSITIVELY IMPACTS OUR STUDENTS AND CLIENTS:-OVER THE YEARS, WE REGULARLY GET LETTERS FROM PEOPLE IN PRISON SAYING THAT SOME OF THEIR RELIGIOUS LIBERTIES WERE VIOLATED BY PRISON STAFF. IN THOSE CASES WE COULD ONLY REFER THEM TO CIVIL RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS LIKE CAIR. THIS YEAR, WE WERE ABLE TO TAKE A STEP IN MAKING A CHANGE WHERE THOSE VIOLATIONS WOULD NOT OCCUR. IN EARLY 2023,CAIR REACHED OUT TO TAYBA TO BE A CO-SPONSOR OF SENATE BILL (SB) 309, SETTING CLEAR RULES ABOUT RELIGIOUS CLOTHING, HEADWEAR, AND GROOMING FOR PEOPLE BEING BOOKED INTO PRISON OR JAIL IN CALIFORNIA. TAYBA REPRESENTATIVES SPOKE AT THE CALIFORNIA STATE CAPITOL TWICE, ATTENDED A NUMBER OF MEETINGS, SUBMITTED MULTIPLE LETTERS, AND THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS LEARNED ABOUT WHAT IT TAKES TO CHANGE LEGISLATION. TAYBAS TEAM HAS BUILT UP A GREAT DEAL OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE OVER THE LAST 15 YEARS. NOW, WE ARE BEING CALLED UPON TO UTILIZE THAT KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE TO HELP CHANGE THE SYSTEM. EDUCATION:-DEVELOPED AND DELIVERED EDUCATIONAL SEMINARS IN VARIOUS COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE US INCLUDING FLORIDA, MARYLAND AND CALIFORNIA TO BOTH GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITIES WHO HAVE SUPPORTED THE DEVELOPMENT OF TAYBAS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AS WELL AS TO BUILD AWARENESS OF THE WORK THAT TAYBA IS DOING,WHAT OUR MISSION IS AND HOW WE ARE ACHIEVING THAT. -COLLABORATED WITH AN ISLAMIC SEMINARY THAT OFFERS ONLINE COURSES TO ALLOW FOR TAYBA STUDENTS TO STUDY WITH THEM AFTER THEIR RELEASE FROM PRISON.-PUBLISHED TWO TEXT BOOKS FOR OUR ESSENTIAL SERIES: -IMAN 99: WHAT WE BELIEVE. THIS COURSE INTRODUCES NEW MUSLIMS TO EVERYTHING THEY NEED TO KNOW ABOUT GOD, HIS PROPHETS, AND THE HEREAFTER TO MAKE THEIR FAITH SOUND. IT INCLUDES ENRICHMENT EXERCISES AND REFLECTION QUESTIONS THROUGHOUT THE TEXT.-BIRR 99: HONORING PARENTS: ACCORDING TO ISLAM LIKE ANY ESSENTIALS BOOK, BIRR99 WAS DESIGNED TO BE ACCESSIBLE AND ENGAGING FOR THE AVERAGE PRISONER. HONORING PARENTS ACCORDING TO ISLAM ADAPTED FROM THE TEXT, THE RIGHTS OF PARENTS, BY SHAYKH MUHAMMAD MAWLUD IS AN INTERACTIVE AND ACCESSIBLE EXPLORATION OF HONORING PARENTS IN ISLAM.-IMPROVE CLIENT EXPERIENCE THROUGH SMOOTHER, MORE COST-EFFICIENT AND MORE SUSTAINABLE OPERATIONS: -WEVE COMPLETELY REWORKED HOW WE MESSAGE OUR STUDENTS. AS A RESULT, WERE NOW ABLE TO: SHIP REQUESTED BOOKS THE SAME DAY, PREVENT MANY CASES OF RETURNED MAIL BECAUSE OF STUDENT ADDRESS CHANGES (PRISONERS ARE OFTEN TRANSFERRED OR RELEASED WITHOUT A CHANCE TO LET US KNOW), RESPOND TO STUDENT QUESTIONS QUICKLY,(SOMETIMES WITHIN MINUTES), TRIAGE STUDENT MESSAGES TO MAKE SUREURGENT QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED IMMEDIATELY. FASTER COMMUNICATION IS A VERY BIG DEAL, BECAUSE PRISONERS MOVE AROUND SO MUCH. HAVING TO WAIT DAYS INSTEAD OF MONTHS MEANS THEY ARE FAR MORE LIKELY TO COMPLETE COURSES. THROUGH ALL OF THIS, WE VE REDUCED OUR ADMIN COSTS BY A LOT WHILE MAKING OUR STUDENT EXPERIENCE BETTER.-WE ACHIEVED OUR 2023 GOAL OF HAVING A FASTER REPLY TIME, AS PRISON COMMUNICATION CAN GET REALLY SLOW. NEW STUDENTS AND REENTRY CLIENTS SOMETIMES HAVE TO WAIT OVER A MONTH TO RECEIVE THEIR FIRST TAYBA MATERIALS. BUT THE TAYBA TEAM HAS COME UP WITH IDEAS TO SPEED UP THIS PROCESS AND CUT DOWN THE PROCESSING TIMES FOR NEW STUDENT REQUESTS.-THROUGH EXTENSIVE DEVELOPMENT TO OUR CLIENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, AS WELL AS ADDING NEW HIRES, WE HAVE ACHIEVED OUR GOAL OF HAVING MORE COMPLETE RECORD KEEPING. FOR EXAMPLE, IF OUR PROGRAMS FACULTY IS AWARE THAT A TAYBA STUDENT IS FACING A PARTICULAR HEALTH OR FAMILY CHALLENGE, THEN THE REENTRY TEAM NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT IT ONCE THE STUDENT IS UP FOR PAROLE. WE COLLABORATED ACROSS DEPARTMENTS TO ENSURE THINGS LIKE THIS GET DOCUMENTED AND SHARED SO THAT OUR CLIENTS GET THE BEST SERVICES POSSIBLE. LIFESKILLS:-EDITED AND REFORMATTED OUR OVERCOMING ADDICTION COURSE TEXTBOOK. -HIRED A DEDICATED MENTAL HEALTH EDUCATOR TO INTERACT WITH STUDENTS TAKING PART IN OUR LIFE SKILLS COURSES. REENTRY:REENTRY IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (TAYBA SOCAL IN SAN BERNARDINO, CA):-OUR OFFICE IN SAN BERNARDINO HAS GROWN INTO A BUSY CENTER OFFERING SERVICES FOR THE FORMERLY INCARCERATED AND THOSE AFFECTED BY INCARCERATION. HERE IS AN OVERVIEW OF SOME, BUT NOT ALL, OF OUR SERVICE DELIVERY IN 2023:-FOOD PANTRY SERVICES: 466 CLIENTS SERVED. -CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES: 1024 PEOPLE SERVED WHETHER ITS GETTING A DRIVERS LICENSE OR A BIRTH CERTIFICATE, FINDING HOUSING, OR LOOKING FOR WORK, TAYBAS SOCAL CASE MANAGER IS ABLE TO HELP CLIENTS THROUGH RE-ENTRY CHALLENGES AND GET THEM ON THEIR TWO FEET. -ANGER MANAGEMENT: 97 CLIENTS ENROLLED THANKS TO A CLINICAL THERAPIST ON STAFF, OUR OFFICE IS ABLE TO HELP CLIENTS WITH ANGER MANAGEMENT COURSES, AND CERTIFICATION. -PROJECT GIFT: 46 GRADUATES SHORT FOR GOOGLE INSTRUCTION FROM TAYBA, PROJECT GIFT OFFERS CLIENTS IN-DEPTH TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION ALONG WITH A FREE COMPUTER AT THE END OF THE PROGRAM.-IMPROVED OUR ONBOARDING PROCESS TO BETTER SERVE CLIENTS DURING THE FIRST WEEKS OF REENTRY, WHICH ARE THE HARDEST AND THE MOST DANGEROUS.WE IMPROVED OUR ONBOARDING PACKAGE THAT IS SENT TO ALL REENTRY CLIENTS, INCLUDING RESOURCE LISTS, A MENTAL HEALTH COURSEBOOK, AND OTHER OFFERINGS.-PROVIDED VARIOUS TECH LITERACY EDUCATION IN SOCAL TO PROVIDE PREVIOUSLY INCARCERATED PEOPLE WITH TECH TRAINING. MANY CLIENTS HAVE NOT USED A COMPUTER BEFORE.

THIS WILL INCLUDE DEVELOPING COURSES ON PRISON TABLETS. WHILE SOME PRISONS STILL USE ONLY REGULAR MAIL, MANY OTHERS HAVE MOVED ENTIRELY INTO THE DIGITAL SPACE. IT IS NOW POSSIBLE FOR TAYBA TO CREATE VIDEO MATERIALS ACCESSIBLE BY PRISONER AT SOME INSTITUTIONS. OUR GOAL IS TO BEGIN THE PROCESS OF ADAPTING OUR CURRICULUM TO THIS FORMAT THIS YEAR. THE FIRST COURSES WILL GO LIVE THIS YEAR AS WELL. -BUILD OUT A RECORDING STUDIO TO DEVELOP MATERIAL FOR THE E-LEARNING FOR PRISONERS PROJECT. -OFFER EXPANDED COURSES TO THE GENERAL COMMUNITY TO GIVE BACK AND ALSO BUILD AWARENESS OF TAYBA WORK. -RELEASE 3 TEXTBOOKS FOR THAT WOULD BE PART OF TAYBAS ESSENTIALS PROGRAM. -PUBLISH, RELEASE AND DELIVER TO OUR STUDENTS A REENTRY BOOKLET.-TAKE PART IN INITIATIVES AIMED AT IMPROVING POLICY TO PRESERVE AND PROTECT RELIGIOUS LIBERTIES FOR PRISONERS.
