Earning a college degree should create new opportunities, but for formerly incarcerated students, their criminal record can present additional barriers after graduation. The CLEAR Path Initiative acts as a community support initiative, empowering college students to understand their criminal record, explore potential record relief options, and take necessary steps while still in college to prepare for the opportunities they have diligently worked to earn. This program is a vital resource for underground scholars striving to overcome legal barriers and achieve their educational goals.

Supporting CLEAR is a vital part of our community support initiative that extends beyond financial contributions. Our pilot program can greatly benefit from donated supplies, printing and mailing services, and pro bono professional services. Additionally, guidance from licensed legal professionals and reduced-fee legal services for eligible students plays a crucial role in empowering college students who are overcoming legal barriers. Every contribution helps build our support system and opens doors for underground scholars seeking record relief.
