Gratitude in Every Brushstroke 🎨

This painting was created as a thank you to the business leaders and New Freedom and New Freedom Project team who came inside Phoenix West to hear pitches from men who are incarcerated. Your time, feedback, and belief reminded everyone that potential lives on both sides of the gate.

🌟 Employee Spotlight: Kyle 🌟
As one of the founders of New Freedom, Kyle has worked tirelessly to help shape our mission into what it is today. Even though he would be far too humble to ever acknowledge it, we know New Freedom could not be what it is without his vision and dedication.
Today, as our Senior Director of Strategic Initiatives, Kyle ensures that our processes and procedures not only align with our core values, but also with what is best for our members. For him, the greatest reward is seeing our members succeed.
✨ Kyle shares:
"To have been a part of something that has changed the lives of so many thousands leaves me humbled daily. I could not have imagined our mission would have grown to what it is from when the idea came about. And I believe it’s still only the beginning of what’s to come…"
We are deeply grateful for Kyle’s leadership, heart, and commitment to changing lives. 💙
