Project Orange is a jail-based civic engagement initiative working to empower incarcerated and justice-involved individuals with knowledge of their rights, access to voter registration, and a sense of community voice.

Through in-person visits, civic education, and storytelling, Project Orange builds connections between people inside the jail and the communities they come from — helping ensure everyone has the tools to participate in democracy and shape the systems that impact their lives.

Take a minute to write an introduction that is short, sweet, and to the point.

“When I joined Project Orange, I knew I wasn’t just signing up for an internship—I was signing up to stand with people who deserve a second chance and a voice.”

-Isabel Hugetz

“Your past doesn’t define your future. I spent 20 years inside, became valedictorian, earned my degree, and now I’m with Project Orange to help others find their way.”

-Ren Moore

“Justice-involved people are our neighbors, our family, our community. Project Orange is about empowering them to be seen, heard, and included.”

-Durrel Douglas
