Hello Everyone,

I wanted to let you know about a great opportunity for your students and youth who you work with. A group of students at Power House High School in North Lawndale is organizing and will be facilitating a workshop about the value and importance of erasing juvenile criminal records.

The workshop is on December 12th from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. There will be pizza. If you are planning to attend and bring youth, please RSVP to me at projectnia@hotmail.com so that I have a sense of how much food we will need.

Please come out to support the young people. They are working really hard on pulling this together. Attached you will find a flier for the workshop & below is a link:

Hope to see many of you there with your youth.

In peace,

Our mission is to dramatically reduce the reliance on arrest, detention, and incarceration for addressing youth crime and to instead promote the use of restorative and transformative practices, a concept that relies on community-based alternatives.
