Where it goes
Building people, not prisons.
-
01
Donations fund our internships
Donations are used to fund our internship opportunities for people released from prison. Through CONMISSION, that support means real work experience, hands-on training, and mentorship from people who have walked a similar path. It helps people coming home rebuild stability and take a step toward long-term work — a fair chance to move forward.

02
Instructors who go back inside
CONBODY instructors return to Rikers and juvenile facilities. They’ve trained people inside. They still do.
-
03
A public platform that destigmatizes incarceration
The room on Orchard puts returning citizens on the mic. Opportunity is how you humanize re-entry. Not a press release.
About
Mission
ConBody encourages our community to push themselves in ways they cannot imagine. We know the power of living a healthy and disciplined lifestyle. Together with CONBUD — our sister cannabis dispensary — we’re building opportunities for formerly incarcerated people through work, training, discipline, and financial opportunity. Fitness at ConBody and employment at CONBUD are part of the same effort: helping people coming home earn, grow, and stay free.
Our North Star
Our North Star is to create a prison-to-employment pipeline, reduce recidivism, and help tackle mass incarceration.
Donations through CONMISSION fund internship opportunities for people released from prison — not the dispensary.

Coss Marte
Coss Marte · Founder
Built in a cell. Brought home.
Coss built the method in a 9×6 cell. Seventy pounds in six months, bodyweight only. Then he helped fellow inmates lose over 1,000 pounds inside. Then he put it on Orchard Street and hired formerly incarcerated instructors — 100+ so far, 0% recidivism.
CONMISSION exists so people who believe that mission can fund it even if they never take a class.
CONMISSION is a program of Conbody Charitable Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3). EIN 86-2819052. Donations processed by ActBlue Charities.
