Youth Leadership
Empowering the next generation of storytellers, advocates, and community leaders.
We believe young people deserve the tools, knowledge, and support to tell their stories and advocate for the world they want to see. From healing-centered arts classes to teen filmmaking intensives, our Youth Leadership programs help participants (ages 10-18) build confidence, media literacy, and community-rooted leadership.

Justice for My Sister is such a special place. Every program is grounded in a trauma-informed and restorative framework. My colleagues are incredible artists who excel in a variety of crafts, bringing brilliance and intentionality to our curriculum. Having worked across so many programs, I’ve seen firsthand how invaluable JFMS is for the communities we serve.”
