SOCIETY's four cornerstone programs—Youth Justice Restoration Initiative, Community Projects, Mental Health in Schools, and Social-Emotional Learning—collectively advance our mission to transform youth justice and address social determinants of health.

Together, we can empower children, promote rehabilitation over punishment, and foster a healthier, more just community.
