Refoundry
Refoundry disrupts the forces that drive cycles of incarceration and generational poverty by investing in the future of citizens returning to our communities.
Refoundry programs teach high-level crafts skills, create career pathways, and support entrepreneurship. Refoundry Makers learn to repurpose discarded materials into home furnishings, design and sell their own products, and start their own businesses.
Refoundry is committed to sustainability - of our environment, of our communities, and of our future. The repurposed materials and equipment our Makers work with to create home furnishings reflect Refoundry’s core values and belief that every story has value.
“As I work with materials other people have thrown away, I feel like I’m reclaiming myself. When others see I’ve made something of beauty and value, and they buy it, I feel like they see the beauty and value in me, too.”
