mission & vision
BreakFree LLC was established in 2024 to create a space for systems to be shaken up with community alternatives in mind. It takes a village to raise a child. Once young people enter any system in America most do not have the best restorative or reformative approach and typically set up young people for failure. BreakFree LLC plans to keep community in mind in all services offered.
