AFSC's Seattle Community Justice Program develops youth leadership for social change and works to end racial disparities in the juvenile justice system.
Our Projects:
Tyree Scott Leadership School is a powerful participatory experience for young people designed to inspire a lifetime of community involvement. Youth analyze the systems that perpetuate violence and injustice and learn about social change movements, empowering them to promote racial justice, human rights and peace.
Youth Undoing Institutional Racism, ongoing meetings that provide opportunities for youth to develop their leadership for change. Participants gain depth of knowledge about social justice issues, enhance planning, facilitation and organizing skills, and implement projects that challenge racism.
Healing Justice, works to change policies which cause the disproportionate incarceration of youth of color while promoting restorative justice practices for youth engaged with the law enforcement system.
