Youth-LED Justice

Adults love field trips too! A day of visioning and community care with our friends from 🙌🏼 ☀️Restorative justice is community work. Grateful to stand beside organizations committed to healing harm, uplifting youth, and building safer neighborhoods together. ☀️

Building Peace Project: this week’s theme was finding peace and joy within us. It’s an inside job.

A first time fisherman! The “seas” were a little rough but the experience was special. 🎣

Friends, do you remember how you felt holding your first paycheck? Hope? Joy? Pride? 💙Shout out to businesses that offer youth employment opportunities! You are making a difference!

Get ready for YLJ's Building Peace Project, offering youth-led wellness initiatives, including boxing! We're testing the waters tonight. Thanks to MYAN's youth grantmaking council for making this possible.💙💙💙 Looking for work out wear.. please reach out if you would like to donate!

Building community and lifting youth voices through listening sessions! It is always a pleasure to team up with breakingbread_207 and ypcmaine!

Podcast magic is happening with Liv and the YLJ youth! 📢📢📢

YLJ has a deep appreciation for our Ward 5 City Councilor Chrissy Noble! Thank you for creating spaces for community members to connect. 💙💙💙

💙What a turn out we had at weeks Community Conversation! 20 youth and 4 Maine change makers sharing stories of resilience and building connections. As we say, when talking about youth issues and solutions, we bring our youth to the table. We are incredibly grateful to Commissioner Randy Liberty, Representative Nina Milliken, Colleen Coffey and Vanessa Diaz Gaumond of the Maine Secretary of State’s office for sharing their valuable time with us and lifting up youth voices! 💙
