✰ About Us ✰

  • Our main office is located at 340 E. Kelso Street, Inglewood, CA 90301. If you’d like to schedule a visit or attend one of our events, please contact us to confirm the location and details, or follow along on our social media for current event updates.


  • We currently serve the greater Los Angeles community through youth services and community assistance, and we offer pre- and re-entry services to incarcerated individuals across the state of California. If we don’t offer a service or program in your area, please contact us, as we are part of a large network of providers, and we will likely be able to connect you with other organizations to get you the specific support you need.

  • Made New Foundation was founded by people who were told they couldn't change and proved that wrong. Our leadership brings the lived experience of incarceration, an unheard perspective that shapes every program we design and every service we provide. We combine cutting-edge VR technology with evidence-based CBT-informed approaches because we know what actually reaches people. We serve youth, incarcerated individuals, and reentering citizens because we understand the entire pipeline. We offer food security, employment, and programming because we know survival and transformation go hand in hand. This work is deeply personal, fiercely mission-driven, and rooted in the belief that everyone deserves a second chance — because we've lived it.

  • For all media inquiries, please contact us at help@madenewfoundation.org. We always love and welcome the opportunity to share our story and the impact of our work with the world. Please include your name, outlet, deadline, and the nature of your request in your message, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible!
