A New Way of Life Reentry Project (ANWOL) is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit in the field of individual and family services focused on reentry support and criminal justice reform. It is described as Black-led and nationally recognized for its work addressing the effects of incarceration on women and families. The organization's mission centers on empowering communities with opportunity so justice-impacted women can heal, excel, and lead while challenging oppressive systems. Core beliefs emphasize centering women in building community, recognizing the inherent value and transformative potential of every person, and prioritizing transformative public investments over punitive approaches. The organization positions itself within the national criminal justice reform landscape as a mid-sized nonprofit with roots dating to 1998, when it was founded in Los Angeles by Susan Burton. In 2023, ANWOL expanded its partnerships, notably collaborating with the enFOLD Collective to showcase its Testif-i multimedia initiative through a Black-Still installation.
