Get On The Bus
Get On the Bus unites children with their mothers and fathers in prison.
The program is for incarcerated parents with children of any age, as well as children who have an incarcerated parent. This statewide prison visiting program trains and educates hundreds of volunteers and supporters throughout California and engages the media to raise awareness about the impact of incarceration on children and families.
For more information or questions about eligibility, applications, upcoming visits, or participation, please call our office at (818) 980-7714.
