ALUMNI ENGAGEMENT

GRIP’s Alumni Engagement ensures that the transformation begun inside prison is sustained throughout the years of incarceration and continues in the free world.

A Support Network for Reentry

Many GRIP alumni who’ve come home contribute to programs and support others in navigating reentry, employment, and continued personal growth.

Walkathon 2026

At GRIP’s first annual Walk-a-thon in August 2026, GRIP alumni, survivors, staff, and supporters gathered at Lake Merritt in Oakland to connect GRIP Peacemakers with supporters to highlight transformative programming. Events like these reaffirm our commitment to community engagement and to continually growing our networks of support.

Circle of Love

Circle of Love is a space for GRIP alumni to share, process, and debrief life’s events after incarceration. It’s a time to connect, be in community, and support one another—it’s for us, by us, and about us, a dedicated time for all GRIP alumni who wish or need to keep their circle going to continue their Tribal Process.

“This space is for us GRIP graduates to safely continue doing and sharing the life of a peacemaker. Although we can’t be together physically, we can be together in this virtual space to process and be in community. The goal of Circle of Love is to show us that we are not doing this by ourselves; we have brothers and sisters who are here to support us. This is a place to refresh and revitalize our commitment to the GRIP Pledge and tools.”
