Writing
to me is a way to redeem yourself, to redeem something that happened
to you, to learn about yourself, to gain knowledge about yourself
and to search for true things.
- Mario Rocha, young writer
mission
Each One Reach One (EORO) believes that youth behind bars are kids, first and foremost, that one-on-one mentoring through the creative act of playwriting and academic tutoring provides the best way to positively influence the beliefs that incarcerated youth hold of themselves and that society holds of them.
EORO believes that young people have the right to learn from their mistakes, that they need to be encouraged to take responsibility for building a better future for themselves, and that education is the tool that can transform their lives. We support their efforts to transform their lives through theatre arts experiences and academic tutoring; reinforcing their ability to develop into productive citizens.
