Empowering Youth Voices: Building Partnerships for Sustainable Transformation in the Youth Justice System

Posted in Announcements

Join us on June 5th from 2 to 3 pm for a new webinar:  Empowering Youth Voices: Building Partnerships for Sustainable Transformation in the Youth Justice System

The voices and perspectives of young people with lived expertise are critical to creating a youth justice system that is fair, equitable, and effective. Fostering meaningful collaboration between system professionals and lived experts provides an opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of people’s experiences on the receiving end of system involvement, recognize harms or unintended consequences that young people experience, and work to co-create solutions for a better youth justice system.  

In this webinar, we’ll discuss practical and sustainable strategies aimed at creating an authentic and holistic-and not just superficial–approach to engaging youth in the youth justice system. We’ll also address the challenges and barriers that often arise when engaging young people with lived expertise. 

We hope you can join us!
