#givingtuesday is just 2 weeks away! At Juvenile Law Center, we believe that young people are experts on their own lives, and their lived experiences should inform policies that affect them. Since 2008, our Youth Advocacy Program has prepared young people to lead advocacy Image
and policy reform efforts in their local communities and beyond. Our youth advocates create projects that THEY believe are important, leading to critical policy change by directly speaking to lawmakers, media outlets, and decision-makers across the country.
With their skills and expertise, they have created many resources and tool kits that have been used across the country. This year for #givingtuesday Juvenile Law Center seeks to raise $50,000 to support our Advocates for Youth Justice & Advocates Transforming Youth Systems
cohorts. Your support will be instrumental in sustaining our youth advocates as they continue to speak up to transform these systems.
Join us on Giving Tuesday, November 29th, for a special message from Marcía Hopkins & one of our youth leaders where they’ll discuss some of the pressing issues that our youth advocacy cohorts plan to address in the coming year!

Sending children thousands of miles away from families and communities is completely contrary to DHS’s mission and vision, negatively impacts family and community ties, may increase recidivism, and is expensive.
In fact, CA recently banned all out-of-state placements of kids in their juvenile justice and child welfare systems due to abuses – more likely to occur when youths are far from the watchful eyes of the responsible state agency and from their families.imprintnews.org/child-welfare-…
