Through our trademarked CORE 101 model and tailored regional programs, our work reached Georgia, Michigan, New York (Leaders Program), Tennessee, and Texas, where we delivered statewide comprehensive programming. This work is sustained by a growing network of supporters. Eighty-two volunteers and six interns contributed more than 1,880 hours of service in 2024. These contributions strengthen public defense offices across the nation, protecting the constitutional rights of thousands of individuals who would otherwise face the criminal legal system without adequate representation.Expenses $1,334,662 · revenue $909,583
