Common Chord is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing books and other educational materials to those in correctional institutions in Pennsylvania.
The primary purpose of this effort is to inspire inmates to explore
a more positive path in their lives.
In recognizing the diversity of the prison population, many of our book selections address the special needs of females, Latinos, African-Americans, and others.
For example, Latinos are provided with course books to learn English, in addition to titles in Spanish to encourage a love of reading. Additional information concerning the "Common Chord Curriculum" can be found on the About Us page.
We hope one day to broaden our outreach and mission to address the challenges facing all Americans who are economically or educationally disadvantaged.
