About this service
When women in prison at GVI decided they wanted to give back to society, CJI helped them launch Fresh Start Creations. Artisan pieces, including collage cards, created during Stride Nights are sold in the community. Some funds are invested back into the program while the majority of the proceeds are donated by the women at GVI to a charity of their choice. Women learn valuable business skills such as marketing, branding, product design, and sales. Fresh Start Creations challenges the way people think about women in prison and their ability to make a positive contribution.
Fresh Start Creations is operated through Stride. A program of Community Justice Initiatives, Stride supports the successful reintegration of women leaving prison. We believe that for a woman to be successful in overcoming obstacles and achieving goals, we need to create more informed, caring and responsive communities to support her changes. If she is successful, the community is safer for us all.
