Anew Nature

    Anew Nature is a furniture restoration and custom design company that provides leadership and training to men who have served prison time for felony offenses.

    Owners Robert and Erica Karleskint are on a mission to give a second chance to marginalized men in the St. Louis area, and they hope to use a new Kickstarter campaign to provide internship opportunities to men participating in Mission: St. Louis’ Beyond Jobs program.
    Anew Nature serves dozens of interns every year, equipping them with workplace culture skills, tool literacy, professional communications, and training in carpentry, woodworking, welding, painting and masonry.
