Marketing & Communications Specialist

Overview

Use your voice, strategy, and storytelling to drive real community change with Loop Roots Foundation.

The Loop Roots Foundation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization dedicated to supporting justice-impacted families through transportation, therapy, and technology-driven programs. Our mission is to remove the physical, financial, and emotional barriers that prevent families from maintaining meaningful connections with incarcerated loved ones, accessing mental health care, or navigating reentry. Founded in 2025, the Foundation operates nationally with an initial focus on underserved communities in Maryland, Arizona, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, California, and Virginia.

Our key initiatives include:

• Loop Connect – a ride credit sponsorship platform that provides free or subsidized rides to prison visitation facilities, enabling families to stay in contact during incarceration.
• Loop Talk – a HIPAA-compliant virtual therapy program offering trauma-informed mental health care to justice-impacted individuals and caregivers, including children.
• Loop Troop Rideshare Partnership – collaboration with the Loop Troop Rideshare platform to ensure families have access to safe, reliable, and culturally competent transportation services.

The Foundation is committed to using community-based, technology-enabled tools to restore dignity, promote healing, and reduce generational harm. All programs are offered without discrimination to build a truly supportive ecosystem for families across the U.S.
