We believe in your potential. We believe in you.
Tapped-In MediaWorks was created by justice-impacted individuals who created a program they wish they would have had upon reentering into society. Founded by members of the Returning Citizens Association, and invested in by leaders at Texas Tech University, this digital platform is the ultimate source of information and guidance for those navigating the complex legal justice system in America.
-
The content offered within our digital platform is the combined expertise from justice-impacted individuals and professional allies with relevant expertise.
-
You will become a part of a supportive digital community where you’ll hear personal stories from others and learn from their experiences. Everything from relationship and parenting advice to mental health practices, to navigating the complex legal system and gaining resources to help support you.
-
The American criminal justice system is built for punishment rather than rehabilitation, resulting in a high recidivism rate across the nation. Tapped-In Media helps fill this gap by providing crucial information and support to individuals at their most vulnerable from people who’ve been there.
-
Whether you’re justice-impacted or not, there are multiple ways you can help. Consider donating to our cause or purchasing a membership on behalf of someone who needs it. Feel free to send us a message to learn more.
