Youth Justice Restoration Initiative
The Youth Justice Restoration Initiative is not just about change, it's about transformation. It transforms the juvenile justice system by treating youth involvement as a healthcare and societal issue rather than a criminal matter. This initiative aims to transfer cases back to youth court, provide comprehensive support through social workers, pediatricians, and mental health professionals, and address the underlying social determinants of health. By implementing authentic transformative and restorative justice practices, we promote rehabilitation and education over incarceration, empowering young individuals and creating a more just and supportive community.

Our Community Projects aim to improve the environments where children grow up by addressing blight, condemned properties, and unsafe neighborhoods. These initiatives focus on rebuilding neighborhoods and creating safe, vibrant spaces for children to live, learn, and play. Additionally, we work to restore key individuals back into the community by providing pro bono representation to petition the courts for parole eligibility, helping those serving mandatory sentences for non-violent offenses to reintegrate and contribute positively to society. By enhancing the quality of life and fostering a sense of community, we support the healthy development and well-being of children and their families, making a tangible difference in their lives. These projects are a critical part of our mission to address the social determinants of health and create a foundation for long-term positive change, offering hope for a brighter future.

Our Mental Health in Schools initiative advocates for the mandatory inclusion of mental health counselors in all public schools, promoting an appropriate student-to-counselor ratio to ensure effective support. By implementing this essential resource, we aim to address students' mental and emotional well-being, providing them with the tools and guidance they need to thrive academically and personally. This initiative is vital to fostering a healthy school environment where every child can access the mental health support they deserve.

Our Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) initiative emphasizes the critical need for an age-appropriate SEL curriculum in public schools. By integrating SEL into the educational framework, we aim to equip students with essential skills such as empathy, self-awareness, and emotional regulation. We also recognize the vital role parents play in their children's development. Therefore, we provide literature and host workshops to empower parents with the tools and skills to support their children effectively, fostering a brighter, more resilient future for all.
