Robert Mansfield and Sarah Polanco founded Stronger Roots Alliance after seeing how often children lose access to extracurricular opportunities when families are rebuilding after incarceration.
They met in college through Project Rebound and shared a vision for giving families another way to build connection, confidence, and belonging.
