Virtual forum next week will explore youth justice reforms, recommendations for changes
Updated Feb 18, 2021;
Youth Advocate Programs (YAP), Inc., headquartered in Harrisburg, is one of the sponsors for a unique public web event next week that will highlight how a community-based, love-centered continuum of care can serve as an alternative to ineffective youth justice approaches that disproportionately harm Black and Brown youth.
The virtual forum will run from noon to 1:30 p.m. Feb. 25 and will feature leading U.S. youth justice leaders and advocates in addition to a young man who delivers transformative services that not long ago supported his community re-entry.
