Expanding the Focus on Ending Youth Incarceration
End Youth Incarceration As We Know It
The Young Women’s Freedom Center was recently selected as a grantee partner of Liberty Hill’s Liberation Fund Initiative—a grant program that supports the work of community organizations focused on ending the incarceration of girls and gender-expansive (GE) youth.
Since 1993, the organization has worked to create positive change in the lives of young women and GE youth who have been involved in the juvenile justice system. Alongside our other partners, they are co-creating strategies focused on their advancement, leadership evelopment, and power-building.
We applaud the Young Women’s Freedom Center and their continued commitment to ensuring that all young women and trans youth of all genders have the support they need to live self-determined lives, free of oppression.
The work of the Liberation Fund is laying the foundation to create a model for ending the incarceration of girls and GE youth across California, with the potential to be replicated nationwide.
