Take REAL steps for yourself and provide REAL Second Chances for Justice Involved Young People image

Join The Center for Improving Youth Justice (CIYJ) for the 4th Annual "Steps for Real Second Chances" fundraiser supporting scholarships, reentry assistance and employment opportunities for justice-involved young people.

Transitioning back to life in the community after spending 24/7 in a secure facility is a daunting task for justice-involved young people. Less than half say they have enough money for food and clothing.

A donation of $500 directly supports a Reentry Award for one young person during their transition out of a facility.

A donation of $1,000 supports our Education and Employment Foundation Scholarship, where all proceeds go directly to tuitions, school supplies, or vocational training.

A donation of $1,500 directly supports an Employment Matching Award for one young person.

Together we can change those statistics, remove barriers for young people and ensure Real Second Chances. Donate Today!
