Get on the Bus - Nonprofit staffed by volunteers who bus children to visit their parent in prison.  What a powerful interview!  These children fly under the radar and are often forgotten.  But research has shown that kids who are allowed to visit incarcerated parents do better in every way - socially to educationally, and the rate of recidivism for the incarcerated parents goes DOWN!
