Description:

Busboys and Poets welcomes Something New, (Formerly the Freedom Foundation) to the Langton Room for this Private Event.  To book an event, please contact the Event and Marketing Team at (202)332-6432.  

The Freedom Foundation is rebranding to "Something New".  The world has issues. You know what would help? If today’s young people could find their voices, gain confidence through arts and activism, learn skills for the workplace, and get hyped about turning the world into a better place. We do that. Something New is now comprised of three stellar youth programs: New Expression youth arts, New Way conflict reconciliation training, and New Alternative service learning trips. The recent name change from Freedom Foundation to Something New tells the story of some things that needed to change and others that never will.
