The Phoenix
The Trustees met Founder Scott Strode and were impressed by his leadership and The Phoenix model of creating a sober active community. In 2014, the Board approved seed funding to launch a Boston chapter, due to the rising opioid crisis in Massachusetts. Three years later, an exciting opportunity was presented for Phoenix to secure a permanent facility in Boston and the Trustees approved a large challenge grant to help them obtain the immediate funding needed. The new 11,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art facility in Newmarket Square has allowed The Phoenix to serve 2,000 members annually.
