Partakers Careers in Auburndale, MA

In 1997, Partakers, Inc. was founded by Jeannette Hanlon as a non-profit organization with the following principal purposes: 1) to provide mentoring to women and men in prison who are enrolled in the Boston University Prison Education Program (BUPEP), or people in prison taking Distant Learning correspondence courses, 2) to bridge the divide between those inside and outside of prison. In 2000 Partakers’ College Behind Bars program and BUPEP began an official relationship that helped anchor our effort and that over time, established Partakers’ respected position with the Massachusetts Department of Corrections. In 2017 Tufts University and Emerson College also created in prison degree granting programs and becaame community partners with Partakers.
