Our Work

We use data, policy, partnerships, and education to achieve the following: 

• Expansion of 24 hr school, work, and community-based services that respond to what youth need before harm is done. 

• Increased use of restorative practices to avoid prosecution and reduce confinement.

• Full implementation of practice models that align with brain science regarding emerging adulthood.  

• Elimination of policy and practice that criminalizes childhood poverty. 

• Ongoing accountability to youth, staff, and community through intergovernmental cooperation and transparency.
