Resilient young people, relentless advocates
[Youth Justice Network] aren't trying to make you better for the moment, they're trying to make you better for the long term.
At Youth Justice Network,
everyone has a someone.
Our services and programs offer a variety of opportunities for young people to grow and thrive, but our core model throughout is constant: all participants have a staff member they can count on.

Join Our Fight
Stand in solidarity with our mission to break cycles of inequality and fight systemic racism by giving young people the opportunities they have been denied. Join our community, and together we can make a difference.
