Dear Friends,
It feels like we’ve been “searching for spring” for more than a year, but now signs of growth, hope, and change seem to be everywhere– In every perfect branch tip, in every vaccine administered, and with the blossoming of our team at Boundless Freedom Project.
That’s right, our team has grown. We’ve added three part time employees to our previous staff of just one half time person (Executive Director, Ayla Benjamin)
As an organization, we are committed to serving all system-impacted people– those living behind bars and those living free in our communities. We are so fortunate to be able to tap into the talent, insight, and lived experience of our three new hires.
Today, we’re thrilled to introduce our new employees.
