Bedford Hills Correctional Facility: Educational Center About half of the inmates in the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility have not completed high school, 85% read below the twelfth-grade level and 32% read below sixth-grade level. Recently, all public funds for college courses were discontinued in the NYS penal system, and other educational programs have been severely curtailed by massive budget and staff cuts. A privately funded college program was started in 1997. Volunteers are much needed for the college and college-bound programs. What Our Church Does: Financial support; members volunteer. What You Can Do: Tutor, teach reading Teach games or needle crafts to teens and young adults (knitting, crocheting, quilting) Instruct in creative writing, music, drama, arts and crafts Contribute money or practical items for inmates and their children When: Ongoing Volunteers: Adult
