Public charity · Grantmaker Washington, DC EIN: 81-3221807 Website

The National Youth Justice Network builds the movement for anti-racist, healing-centered youth justice. We unite a diverse network of advocates and organizers to shift youth justice away from policing and prisons toward community-based, trauma-informed and healing-centered responses to youth needs. Our work centers the needs of the most marginalized, and we seek a reimagined future where black, brown, indigenous, lgbtqia+ youth, and youth with disabilities have the freedom, resources and opportunities necessary to thrive.
