YOUTH JUSTICE 
LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

The Youth Justice Leadership Program partners with youth mentoring organizations to develop leadership skills among youth to advocate for youth justice and end the school-to-prison pipeline. Youth assist in crafting solutions to address the systemic issues and root causes of behavioral challenges, and they help identify more prevention opportunities to minimize the entrance of young people into our justice system. They offer recommendations to the community, create peer resources, and act as advocates for change.
