Gateway is a podcast from Colorado Radio for Justice.For 20 years, a little-known program at Red Rocks Community College has been quietly changing lives. It’s called College Gateway, and it offers higher ed opportunities for people directly impacted by the criminal-legal system. Students get free from prison and jail, and they come to College Gateway, where they build a path forward on their reentry journey.What makes Red Rocks Community College’s Gateway work? What barriers has it overcome? And what can it teach listeners across the U.S. about the role of colleges and universities in creating second chances?Gateway answers these questions, uplifting the voices of the program’s students, educators, administrators, and advocates. Through their stories, we explore how education can be a bridge to stability, opportunity, and belonging.Gateway includes the following episodes:Taking Off the MaskFor All the MarblesA Search for MeaningBeyond the GatesThe team behind Gateway includes:Hosts, producers, and writers: Seth Ready & Lucy RichardsonMusic: Carlos "Carlitos" Perez, Ira Miner, & Lucy RichardsonGraphic design: Benjamin GreavesVoice talent: Trevor JonesExecutive Producer: Ryan ConarroGateway is a production of Colorado Radio for Justice, in partnership with Red Rocks Community College. Learn more about College Gateway at www.rrcc.edu/gateway.
