WELCOME TO


EXCHANGE FOR CHANGE

Exchange for Change offers educational and communication skills-building courses to students who are incarcerated to amplify and bring their voices to the outside. Through advocacy and education, Exchange for Change provides vision and understanding on both sides of the fence.

WRITING THAT TRANSFORMS

At Exchange for Change, we're committed to fostering spaces for creative and intellectual exploration. We stand firm in the belief that education is a fundamental human right. Our approach values each individual voice, offering our learners a platform to share their perspectives free from the worry of stigma. We envision a world where open dialogue and mutual respect pave the way for vibrant, secure communities.

Discover the transformative journeys of our students, facilitators, and board members through their powerful testimonials. These stories are a testament to the impact of our mission, illustrating the profound effect of providing spaces for expression, learning, and community building. Join us in witnessing the real-life changes and breakthroughs that define the essence of our work.

Witness the impact of self-expression through the artistic interpretations by Florida International University theater students as they breathe life into the works created by our incarcerated writers featured in Don’t Shake the Spoon Volume 4.
