"In an attempt to disrupt the school-to-prison pipeline, "School To Prosperity ™" is the methodology that Life Anew Restorative Justice embodies"
What if the answer to harm isn’t more punishment, but more connection?
That’s the question Life Anew has been answering in Austin since 2009.
We train educators, mentor youth, interrupt violence, support formerly unhoused neighbors, and help families keep their homes, all through restorative practices that repair harm and rebuild trust.
We don’t just respond to broken moments. We help people and communities begin again.
Help us push the mission forward.
Every circle held, every young person mentored, and every family kept in their home starts with someone who decided to invest in a stronger community. Your gift keeps this work going. Join us in restoring culture, rebuilding community, and creating a city where everyone has the chance to thrive.

Our Mission
To produce a sense of well-being in communities worldwide by cultivating empathic environments.
Our vision
To be the leader in creating platforms for people to connect, contribute, and collaborate for the purpose of building authentic relationships.
Our values
We are loyal to Jesus Christ Leadership and are committed to loving humanity and the discovery of good within all people.​
​
We believe relationships matter.
​​
We embrace technology to increase our reach.
​​
We are committed to flexibility for the benefit of all involved.
A Restorative Ecosystem is formed when varied stakeholders, including educators, families, service providers, and judicial systems, intentionally collaborate to build a culture of healing, growth, and transformation.
​
At Life Anew, we build that ecosystem by connecting the people and institutions that shape a person’s life. In schools, we train educators and school-based law enforcement and mentor students through Youth Anew. In neighborhoods, ATX Peace interrupts violence and supports those at risk. At Community First! Village and through our anti-displacement services, we help neighbors find stability, resolve conflict, and stay rooted in their homes.
When these pieces work together instead of in isolation, harm is repaired sooner, relationships last longer, and communities grow stronger.
