Experience
Credible Messenger Mentor
Apr 2023 — Present · Brooklyn, NY, US
Our Justice for Youth & Families programs work with youth, families, schools, and the community to find positive paths forward from wherever they are. We work with youth who have been court involved and been placed in detention, those facing parole and at risk of greater involvement, and those leaving placement and looking to find a new path forward.Youth in our juvenile justice programs discover their inner strengths and demonstrate tremendous resilience. With support and new opportunities, youth learn to make positive decisions. Both our residential and our community-based juvenile justice programs give them a chance to rise above the obstacles they face so they can change the trajectory of their lives.
