Crayons To Computers Inc

Program: crafts with conviction is a collaborative project between crayons to computers, the ohio department of rehabilitation and correction, and the ohio department of youth services. Volunteer inmates at 16 juvenile and adult facilities statewide produce educational and incentive items by using donated and recyclable materials. Finished items are distributed, for free, through our teacher resource center and online for pickup. The objective is to provide crayons to computers with a reliable supply of products to meet teacher needs for regular and seasonal merchandise and develop creative products to respond to newly identified needs, donated material opportunities and expanded production capabilities. Outcomes: 80 unique products distributed and 142,839 crafts with conviction items distributed totaling $713,235 (included in store and online ordering product value).
