Together we're healing towards justice!

The CHOOSE Freedom program is a 14-week transformative initiative designed for young people impacted by gang violence, community violence, gun violence, and incarceration. Our mission is to equip participants with the tools, support, and mindset needed to take control of their future and break free from cycles of harm.

The traumas of incarceration and violence severely impact young people in our community. We believe in a restorative approach to healing and preventing future harm. Instead of perpetuating the cycle of violence and punishment, we can heal and form a stronger community.

This program is for anyone age 12-24 in King or Pierce County who has been impacted by incarceration and/or gun violence. Learn more here: https://choose180.org/choose-freedom
