A nonprofit training program for formerly incarcerated inmates is growing after moving to a new space.
Refoundry recently moved to the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
The organization trains former inmates how to use reclaimed wood to make new furniture.
Volunteers were at the site Saturday to help out with setting up the place.
A spokesperson for the group says the space will allow Refoundry to increase the size of the program over the next year.
