we
So young people can count on us from jail,
to court, to neighborhood.
Our Mission
Our mission is to break cycles of incarceration and build an equitable justice system by providing young people with individualized advocacy, mentorship, and opportunities to grow, thrive, and lead.
Resilient young people, relentless advocates
It all started one day I was walking down 149th St…I saw a big purple truck and table, and since I’ve been involved with Youth Justice Network, my life has been much more productive.
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.
