EDWINS Leadership & Restaurant Institute is a Cleveland-based non-profit that provides education and support to formerly incarcerated adults as they pursue careers in the hospitality industry. Its six-month culinary and hospitality curriculum is taught inside a fine-dining French restaurant in Shaker Square, offering participants hands-on training and exposure to professional operation. In addition, the organization runs the Second Chance Life Skills Center, which delivers a six-month reentry program with a formal curriculum, life planning, dormitory-style housing, alumni housing, and a culinary library.

The nine-month program mirrors the EDWINS curriculum and is delivered at Grafton Correctional Institution, and the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections has finished filming all lesson plans to enable sharing of the curriculum and materials with all ODRC institutions. Recent reporting notes that EDWINS expanded its footprint with a new location in Cleveland Heights, signaling growth within the Ohio region.
