Made New Foundation
We create opportunities for individuals to transform and make a new way of life by connecting them with housing, food, clothing, education, vocational training, and mentorship. We do this while providing motivation, inspiration and a "hand up," not a "hand out." We create space.

LEARN ·2023 Grants ChallengeLeveraging VR for Reentry and At-Risk Populations
Made New Foundation will leverage the power of virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) to support the needs of reentering adults and at-risk, system-involved youth. We will create and provide access to virtual "real-world" scenarios that help youth and adults navigate challenging situations and learn how to successfully engage with the world around them. This will not only nurture core life and coping skills but will also expose youth and adults to technology that they may otherwise not have the opportunity to access.
