Episode 221: ScholarCHIPS – Yasmine Arrington Brooks

This week on The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast, we welcome Yasmine Arrington Brooks, founder of ScholarCHIPS – a nonprofit organization that provides scholarships and mentorship to children with incarcerated parents to help them complete their college education and chase their dreams. 

Yasmine was the child of incarcerated parents, so knows first-hand the struggles and difficulties that other children with incarcerated parents face. Yasmine founded ScholarCHIPS to help other children just like her to support them through scholarships, mentorship, and a peer support network to help them complete their college education. To date, ScholarCHIPS has awarded over $450,000 in college scholarships to 81 scholars and has more than 35 college graduates to date.

In this episode, you’ll hear: 

  • Yasmine’s inspiring life story;
  • Her experience growing up as a child of incarcerated parents;
  • The story of how ScholarCHIPS came to be;
  • About the incredible work that ScholarCHIPS does to empower, support, and inspire children with incarcerated parents to complete their college education and chase their dreams;
