Our mission is to expand access to learning, opportunity, and justice by advancing holistic, ethics‑based 21st‑century learning, alternative dispute resolution, and community‑centered legal empowerment through our work with underserved and vulnerable populations.
What We Have Done
What We Have Done
2013–2016: Economic Empowerment as a First Step
Our journey began with hands‑on workforce development.
We launched a professional cleaning enterprise that trained and employed 28 individuals referred by refugee resettlement agencies. Participants earned $15/hr, learned workplace expectations, and built the confidence needed to advance. Many secured full‑time jobs; others pursued education or launched their own businesses.
At the same time, we operated a community garden that provided food donations and micro‑enterprise opportunities — a small but meaningful step toward local sustainability and self‑reliance.
2013–2018: Building Bridges Through Culture
As we listened to the communities we served, we realized that economic empowerment must be paired with cultural understanding.
Restore Missions began pioneering cultural integration programs, collaborating with universities, community leaders, and diverse cultural groups to host:
Multicultural dialogues
Community forums
Cultural showcases
Taste of Nations events
These gatherings brought people together through food, art, and storytelling — and even helped launch three small businesses at the Boise International Market.
This era established Restore Missions as a bridge‑builder, strengthening relationships across cultures and communities.

2016–2020: Reintegration, Advocacy & Systems Change
Our work expanded into justice‑system reintegration and legal advocacy.
We supported 15–20 returning citizens with employment, training, and critical awareness of the justice system. We partnered with Boise State University, Concordia University School of Law, and the University of Idaho Law School to deliver:
Cultural competency training
Service‑learning programs
Legal dialogues involving judges, attorneys, and law enforcement
We also helped the Idaho Association of School Administrators develop a five‑year strategic plan, reinforcing our commitment to education‑driven systems change.
This chapter deepened our belief that advocacy and legal understanding are essential tools for empowerment.
