We envision a Louisiana where every child—regardless of race, economic status, or past mistakes—is treated with compassion, dignity, and opportunity.
We prioritize restoration over punishment. Our policy efforts are grounded in systemic change through strategic partnerships, narrative change campaigns, and focused policy strategies. By mobilizing stakeholders and coalitions, we amplify advocacy initiatives to create systemic reform.
CONFINEMENT CONDITIONS
We protect incarcerated youth by advocating for safer conditions, access to education, medical needs, and mental health support.
THRIVING IN COMMUNITY
We help young people thrive in their communities with our strategic partnerships that provide quality education, life skills, and mentoring.
PROGRESSIVE POLICIES
We author and support progressive policies at the local and state levels to ensure children have the right to education, are treated as kids, and are protected from over-criminalization.
NATIONAL INFLUENCE
We work nationally to advance youth justice by sharing the successes of our holistic defense model, reentry efforts, and policy wins. We want to keep kids at home and in school—not in courts or jails.
