About the Event
Join us for an upcoming Collective Conversation with Stacey Borden, Founder & Executive Director of New Beginnings Re-Entry Services, a Dorchester-based nonprofit dedicated to supporting formerly incarcerated people through trauma-informed care, education, healing-centered programming, and practical reentry resources. Founded by Stacey in 2016 out of her own lived experience of incarceration and recovery, New Beginnings has evolved from a residential program for women into an Adult Reentry Day Center serving people of all genders impacted by incarceration. Through services including workforce development, financial and digital literacy, counseling, creative therapies, wellness programming, and community-based support, the organization is helping people move from surviving to thriving.
This conversation comes to our community at the invitation of CLTV alumni Lisa and Karen. Karen and members of her synagogue group visited New Beginnings to learn more about its powerful transition and current work, and CLTV5 also supported the organization through a powerful collective giving effort in 2023. Together, we’ll hear from Stacey about her journey, the organization’s evolution, and what it means to build healing, dignity, and real opportunity for people returning home after incarceration.
Guest Speaker
Stacey Borden is a Boston-area social entrepreneur, advocate, and formerly incarcerated leader who founded New Beginnings Reentry Services, a Dorchester-based nonprofit supporting people returning from prison. Drawing on her own lived experience—nearly 30 years cycling in and out of incarceration beginning in the 1980s—she created the organization in 2016 to address the lack of trauma-informed resources for people reentering society.
Since her release, Borden has become a prominent voice for criminal justice reform and healing-centered reentry support. She holds degrees in human services and mental health counseling and focuses her work on addressing trauma, addiction, and systemic barriers faced by formerly incarcerated individuals. Through New Beginnings, she has developed programs that include counseling, workforce training, financial and digital literacy, and creative therapies to help people rebuild their lives and reduce recidivism.

About the Event
Join us for a Collective Conversation with Deborah Frieze, co-founder of the Boston Impact Initiative and Unlock Ownership, about how to harness the power of emergence to create and sustain healthy, resilient and inclusive communities. Deborah is going to share the Two Loops model, a powerful framework for understanding how systems change and new possibilities emerge in times of disruption.
In this interactive conversation, we’ll explore the roles each of us can play to respond wisely and well to increasing levels of chaos in our political, economic, social and ecological systems. This session will offer a hopeful and practical lens for anyone working toward systems transformation, social change, and regenerative futures—and help us find our place within the broader arc of change.
Guest Speaker
Deborah Frieze is an American social entrepreneur, author, and educator focused on building fairer local economies and stronger communities. She is the co-founder of the Boston Impact Initiative (BII), an impact-investing fund that supports diverse entrepreneurs and works to reduce economic inequality. Frieze previously worked in the technology sector after earning an MBA from Harvard Business School, but later shifted her career toward social change and community-based economic systems. She is also the co-author of Walk Out Walk On, which highlights communities around the world creating innovative solutions to social and economic challenges, and the co-originator of the Berkana Two Loops Model, a framework that explains how new systems emerge to replace outdated ones through community leadership and innovation. Her work centers on promoting local ownership, inclusive investment, and community resilience.

About the Event
Imagine a world where your resources do more than just grow—they ignite change. When couples are aligned, their money can do just that. Impact Collective founder, Julia Johannsen, and Breaking the Mold co-founder, Ethan Kerr, will team up for this special 3-part workshop experience, open to couples of all races, orientations and backgrounds. The workshop will offer a unique opportunity for couples to explore some of the challenges and opportunities of aligning their money with their values. We will explore our relationship dynamics through lenses of race and gender, and consider some of the implications for our partnerships, our money, and our impact on the world.
