Because I didn\u2019t feel like I fit in, every time I went to the parole office I would invite another person to come with me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Soon there was a large enough group of formerly incarcerated students to justify organizing a support group. The \u201cTransitions\u201d idea was new\u2014so novel, in fact, that it hadn\u2019t been done yet. Leyva said he has recently learned, through his doctoral research, that the Transitions program in Santa Barbara was the first of its kind in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t a hit with everybody, he recalls: \u201cBack in 2008, we were still using words like \u2018convict.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But there was one ally: the Director of Extended Opportunity Programs and Services, or EOPS, who helped Leyva and his first group of peers secure a room for their meetings on campus. Next came a small amount of funding.<\/p>\n<p>But that was all they needed.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, having moved to North County to pursue his master\u2019s degree at Cal State San Marcos (CSUSM), Leyva launched Palomar\u2019s Transitions program, which has grown and matured and will move into a permanent building on the San Marcos campus next year.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the Transitions model is spreading across the state of California in the form of the <a href=\"https:\/\/risingscholarsnetwork.org\/\">Rising Scholars Network<\/a>, which provides \u201cdegree-granting programs in correctional facilities and on-campus support for students who have experienced the criminal justice system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Palomar\u2019s thriving Transitions program\u2014soon to be renamed under the Rising Scholars banner\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.palomar.edu\/news\/palomar-honors-2022-class-of-rising-scholars\/\">recently graduated its fifth summer cohort<\/a> of 21 formerly incarcerated students.<\/p>\n<p>During the ceremony, Leyva\u2014who teaches the summer class\u2014was honored with the inaugural Paulo Freire Liberation Through Education Award. In presenting the award, numerous students, administrators, faculty and others spoke of Leyva\u2019s personal dedication.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis compassionate heart is evident in all he does,\u201d said Dr. Star Rivera-Lacey, Superintendent\/President of Palomar College, when she presented the award to Leyva. \u201cMartin is motivated by love, and he reminds us that a chapter in our lives doesn\u2019t define the entire story\u2014that change is possible, that we are not victims of our past, and that we are not trapped by the circumstances of our birth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reality is that we, as an institution, as a program, and as individuals, are better because of Martin Leyva\u2019s presence in our lives,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Andreas Favela, the Interim Associate Vice President of Student Academic Support Services at Cal State San Marcos, also spoke warmly of Leyva\u2019s work during the ceremony at Palomar last month.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5018\" src=\"https:\/\/www.palomar.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2022\/08\/51434806178_07b46989a4_k-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.palomar.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2022\/08\/51434806178_07b46989a4_k-980x654.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.palomar.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2022\/08\/51434806178_07b46989a4_k-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re just trying to keep up with him\u2014with his energy, his dedication, his passion,\u201d said Favela. \u201cMartin has the biggest heart that I\u2019ve ever known.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fifteen years after Leyva\u2019s first semester as a formerly incarcerated student, there is plentiful evidence of the power of education to change the lives of system-impacted individuals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe data shows that education is the number one reducer of recidivism\u2014if you get an education, your likelihood of going back to jail or prison drops substantially,\u201d he said, reflecting on his most recent class of Transitions scholars at Palomar. \u201cOn the first day of class, I asked the students if they thought they could be successful. Most of them were hesitant, saying things like, \u2018I don\u2019t know, I\u2019m giving this a shot, we\u2019ll see.\u2019 But last Thursday, in my last lecture, I asked the same question, and I would say 90 percent of them told me, \u2018I can and I will.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The success stories cover the gamut, from dozens of quietly successful men and women who have left incarceration behind to those who have taken their education \u201call the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe see people exceed their wildest dreams,\u201d said Leyva. \u201cI mean, I\u2019m a year away from getting my doctorate in education, and when I look back to when I got out of prison in 2007, knowing I had a close to 80 percent chance of going back in\u2014it\u2019s beautiful to witness the success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Today, Leyva is the Program Coordinator of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.csusm.edu\/projectrebound\/index.html\">Project Rebound<\/a> at Cal State San Marcos (CSUSM) and an Adjunct Professor at Palomar, CSUSM and MiraCosta College. He specializes in Sociology, Criminology and Justice Studies, and is due to finish his doctorate in Educational Leadership next year.<\/p>\n<p>His dissertation: \u201cThe power of education as a means of re-entry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sitting in the Brubeck Theatre, listening to story after story of students who found new purpose through education, it\u2019s easy to get a sense of all that Leyva and his colleagues have accomplished.<\/p>\n<p>But he insists they\u2019re still in the \u201cearly days.\u201d There\u2019s a lot of work yet to do\u2014and a lot of people to help, he says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is my life\u2019s work,\u201d Leyva said. \u201cWhen I think about how 95 percent of the people who are currently incarcerated are coming home someday\u2014if they can come home knowing there\u2019s a community college or some type of educational resource that will help them re-enter society? That\u2019s a beautiful thing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Martin Leyva was recently awarded the inaugural Paulo Freire Liberation Through Education Award for his work at Palomar College and beyond.
