New Vision Organization is a nonprofit (501c3) dedicated to improving the quality and availability of rehabilitative services for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals in the United States.
At New Vision, we believe that prisons should be places of growth and of dignity. Since our start in 2015, our advocates have volunteered on behalf of hundreds of clients, fulfilling individual requests for anything from job skills training to medical attention.
