Programs

Life Anew Restorative Justice builds healthier, safer communities by meeting people where they are. Through ATX Peace, Youth Anew, and training for educators and school-based law enforcement, we interrupt violence and build restorative cultures. At Community First! Village and through our anti-displacement services, we support neighbors with conflict resolution, mediation, and housing counseling, helping families stay rooted and keep generational wealth.
