New Beginnings is a jail-based program providing workforce and life development services, mentoring, and support to women in the Kent County, Ottawa County, and Muskegon County jails. The program's purpose is to reduce the likelihood that a woman will return to jail after release.

Our programs and services educate and empower women to workplace success. We partner with caring individuals and organizations throughout West Michigan to purposefully transform the employment outcomes for all women.

The issues faced by women in the workforce drive our programming and inspire our mission. We’ve traveled hand-in-hand with women since 1973 as they have seen their own social situations change and the environment in the workplace evolve. Along the way our programs and services have grown to more effectively motivate and inspire our participants, while giving voice to all women who seek meaningful employment in our community.

We believe our gender focused mission is part of a greater movement to create an equitable and inclusive culture, free of racism and discrimination, where individuals have the opportunity to achieve success in the workplace and attain economic independence.
