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
