Through Their Lens: Youth Perspectives on Juvenile Justice

This event uplifts the narratives of youth with firsthand juvenile justice system experience, ensuring their insights shape the conversation. Over several months, 50 young people have shared their powerful stories and ideas for change—offering a bold vision for how our city can better support youth and prevent deeper involvement in the system.

Through photos and narratives, they’re showing us how communities and systems can listen, learn, and take action. This is a space to elevate the voices of those most impacted.

We’ll have the chance to hear directly from some of the young participants involved in the project, as they share their insights and aspirations for the future. In addition, we’ll offer meaningful ways for attendees to stay connected to the ongoing work and contribute to the continued momentum of these efforts.

It starts with listening, and they have a lot to say. Come hear it.

Refreshments will be served.
