National Youth Justice Network

THE NATIONAL YOUTH JUSTICE NETWORK BUILDS THE MOVEMENT FOR ANTI-RACIST, HEALING-CENTERED YOUTH JUSTICE. WE UNITE A DIVERSE NETWORK OF ADVOCATES AND ORGANIZERS TO SHIFT YOUTH JUSTICE AWAY FROM POLICING AND PRISONS TOWARD COMMUNITY-BASED, TRAUMA-INFORMED AND HEALING-CENTERED RESPONSES TO YOUTH NEEDS. OUR WORK CENTERS THE NEEDS OF THE MOST MARGINALIZED, AND WE SEEK A REIMAGINED FUTURE WHERE BLACK, BROWN, INDIGENOUS, LGBTQIA+ YOUTH, AND YOUTH WITH DISABILITIES HAVE THE FREEDOM, RESOURCES AND OPPORTUNITIES NECESSARY TO THRIVE.
