⭐️ Our Navigator’s Network meeting is today!

Join Navigator’s Network on June 18, 2026 at 11 AM EST for Whole Body Healing, Mental Health & the Nervous System, featuring Ymani Hawkins.
Ymani Hawkins is a facilitator, executive coach, and mental wellness practitioner who specializes in trauma-informed care, nervous system education, and whole-body healing within organizational and community settings.

This session will explore how incarceration, chronic stress, trauma, confinement, unpredictability, and surveillance can impact the nervous system and the body. Participants will also learn practical self-regulation tools and ways to understand behavior through a trauma-informed lens rather than a judgmental one.

As we enter the summer season, we want to wish our Mokse community a happy June and Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Pride Month is a time to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, while also recognizing the ongoing barriers many LGBTQ+ people still face. For LGBTQ+ individuals impacted by incarceration, those barriers can be even heavier, including stigma, isolation, safety concerns, and limited access to affirming support.

This month, we are holding space for both joy and reflection as we continue working toward education, dignity, and support for communities too often overlooked.

Attending national conversations matters, especially when student workers are helping shape the future of justice-focused community work.

This June, Mokse Educational Services is hoping to send student workers to New York City.

Student workers play a crucial role at Mokse, and we believe opportunities should extend beyond the classroom through real-world experience and conversation. This experience would allow our team to connect with justice reform leaders and national organizations, explore collaboration opportunities, and bring fresh ideas and resources back to the communities we serve.

We are working toward a campaign goal of $950, so student workers can contribute to these important discussions surrounding reentry, education, and community integration work.

Donations will be used to help cover:
- Conference registration
- Transportation
- Lodging

Community sponsors will be recognized through conference-related social media posts and sponsor acknowledgment at our conference table.
