Students train to become social justice leaders.

ÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø’s new organizing principle, 100 Percent ÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø, will provide access opportunities for the 30 percent of residents who have been left out of the region’s vibrant new economy. The Motivating Young Citizens Project goes to the core of this multiyear effort by teaching young people affected by gun violence to become courageous advocates for change in their communities.

A summer internship program helps students build their résumés and get on track toward brighter futures.

Project uses stories and experiences of young people to shape the Foundation’s related grantmaking, policy and advocacy work around juvenile justice.
