    • Why your biology is adaptable - and how everyday choices add up over time
    • How to move from chasing health to actually practicing it
    • Tools for making informed, sustainable choices that work for your life

    Good to Know:

    The mission of the Prison Book Program is to support people in prison by sending them free books and print resources that meet their specific needs and interests. Prisoners write into the program with specific requests and PBP volunteers do their best to fulfill them. Volunteering usually includes a “job” such as picking books, invoicing, packing and/or quality control. This is an extremely rewarding volunteer activity - don't miss out!

    The stairs go down to the basement and are on the sidewalk next to the street and traffic light.
