Youth Justice Network reaches out to incarcerated youth on Rikers Island and detention facilities throughout New York, so that when they are released, they have a mentor to help them make choices to keep them safe and away from recidivism.
YJN helps youth graduate high school, acquire life skills and jobs, and navigate tough relationships and challenging environments. Accompagnateur Workshop participants use the camera and conversation to find their voices, and step into life on their own terms.
