National Youth Justice Network

Our Story

The National Youth Justice Network, established in 2005, is dedicated to dismantling the racist youth legal systems that criminalize and devalue children, particularly based on race, ability, and orientation. Over the years, the organization has evolved to not only critique oppressive systems but also to envision transformative ecosystems that support the healthy maturation of young people. By empowering communities with resources, NYJN aims to foster environments where youth and families can thrive.

Impact
