Impact and Planning

 

Impact

IOI provided a total of over 500 classes during our 2024 fiscal year (October-September). The average class size was about 9 students, for a total of 4,500 student hours taught. The number of students taught has been on an upward trend for several years. The gender breakdown is three quarters male and one quarter female. The breakdown of student hours by community category is: 74 percent incarcerated, 4 percent returning citizens, and 22 percent those transitioning from homelessness, recovering from substance abuse and others.

Planning

Strategic Plan 2022-2024

In January 2021 the IOI board initiated a comprehensive strategic planning process to establish goals and operational objectives for FY 22-24. We aim to leverage learning and growth to create a bold vision for our future. We undertook a series of facilitated listening sessions, among the Board and our larger volunteer community, to help create a shared vision.   

As a result, we have five strategic goals:

  1. Cultivate a community of mindfulness practitioners and facilitators equipped to deliver trauma- informed and culturally attuned meditation and mindfulness classes.

  2. Create an intentionally anti-racist organization.

  3. Increase organizational capacity to expand our reach and deepen our impact.

  4. Foster engagement by increasing communication within the organization and with the communities we serve.

  5. Develop a community engagement strategy that supports carceral reform and individual and community healing and restoration.

During FY22 we are focusing on: volunteer membership, board leadership, fundraising, volunteer and program development, and organizational capacity.
