Building Leaders from Lived Experiences. or Empowering Youth. Elevating Voices. Changing Futures. or Breaking Cycles. Building Leaders.

Our Youth Advisory Board (YAB) is where young people in Inglewood turn lived experience into leadership—helping prevent incarceration before it starts.

Why it Matters

Too many young people grow up surrounded by cycles of incarceration. We exist to interrupt that path.

Through our Push for Peace youth program, we equip young people with:

  • Financial literacy

  • Conflict resolution skills

  • Emotional intelligence

The Youth Advisory Board takes this one step further—giving youth a seat at the table to shape solutions, not just receive them.

What We Do

  • Advise on programs that directly impact at-risk youth

  • Share real-life insight to prevent violence and incarceration

  • Help design outreach that actually reaches their peers

  • Represent the voice of youth in our community

The Impact

When you invest in youth leadership, you invest in prevention.

Every dollar helps:

  • Keep youth engaged in positive development

  • Reduce pathways into the justice system

  • Build skills that lead to stable, independent futures

  • Strengthen safer communities in Inglewood
