Program accomplishments

  • Through our Chiaroscuro program we were able to facilitate the painting of three murals inside of San Quentin and one mural in downtown San Francisco that was completed in 2026. In prison environments there is a notable lack of color; we want to rectify this by bringing in artists both local and world-renowned to produce meaningful works alongside incarcerated residents at San Quentin Rehabilitation Center. Thus far we have worked with Faith XLVII Keya Tama Zeo Zeigler and eL Seed to produce these murals. While we are still collecting data on the impact of these murals on the incarcerated residents we have heard both from correctional staff and incarcerated residents that having places of beauty in such a grim environment has made a positive impact on their emotional wellbeing. Beyond that the incarcerated artists who are able to participate in the painting receive professional experience that will serve them upon release from prison.
    Expenses $25,029
  • Through our Transformative Recreation program organized and ran monthly table-top gaming events alongside a chess club that meets weekly inside of San Quentin Rehabilitation Center. Our table-top gaming events which we call First Friday events serve roughly 150 incarcerated persons and roughly thirty correctional staff at San Quentin each month. In sum this totaled reaching 800 unique participants from the incarcerated population in the program with the total number of participants being estimated at roughly 900. Additionally this program provides drinks and refreshments for each of its participants such that each person was able to eat a real non-prison-food meal each event. We also brought in nearly 60 outside community members to participate in these events. With regard to the chess club San Quentin SkunkWorks now runs a chess club with volunteer grandmaster level coaching that serves roughly 25 regular attendees. This club has just recently received FIDE recognition and is working towards hosting a tournament between outside chess players and club members.
    Expenses $5,918
  • While our Leadership Foundry program does not have any expenses yet this program has been able to provide our incarcerated volunteers with meaningful work experience emotional regulation tools and professional connections - all of which will benefit them upon release from prison. This program intends to meet the deficits in professional experience and skills that are prominent in carceral settings. As such 35 participants rotated yearly as a cohort model commit to a year-long curriculum designed to teach leadership skills communication skills conflict resolution and project management skills. This curriculum is taught primarily by outside professionals but also includes trainings and meetings led by participants themselves.
