Our mission is to help everyone connected to incarceration build better lives. Offering the largest library of educational, vocational and social-emotional learning programming in the industry, behavior management tools for facilities, and communication tools for incarcerated individuals, Edovo fosters a culture of rehabilitation while providing administration and staff with the tools to streamline facility operations and engage their incarcerated population. Users can now gain daily access to courses that lead to tangible achievements, K-12/GED courses, college credit, vocational certificates, and inspire better outcomes. These opportunities, blended with our unique incentive system that uses entertainment as a motivator, has led to an industry leading 80%+ week to week user engagement, more than double the industry average. Learners can take courses at their own pace, making the system ideal for all kinds of learning styles. Edovo is committed to closing the programming gap behind bars, decreasing recidivism and improving opportunities for those who are affected by incarceration. Our tablet solution provides meaningful daily access to education and increased communication with external support systems to better prepare incarcerated people for re-entry and improve public safety. Our goals are to reduce the national recidivism rate, make reentry easier on people who were incarcerated, and for every person who uses Edovo to be able to create opportunities for themselves and others.
