A pillar in the Phoenix community for over 30 years, Fresh Start transforms lives by providing access and resources that help women achieve self-sufficiency and use their strength to thrive.
Our work empowers women as they become the hero of their own story, providing wrap-around services and one-on-one support for every step of the journey forward.
“I was a woman who was broken. I’m not that anymore and I’m grateful, every day, for that.”

Fresh Start has positively impacted my life. Knowing that there are people who are positive in a negative world—that they’re there to encourage you every step of the way and want to see you move forward—makes me feel encouraged. I am going to take what I learned and keep applying it to my life and work.
