You can help youth on relevant everyday topics such as toxic stress, police-youth relations, and more.

The YDJ: Youth Discussing Justice program features a 10-week session inclusive of a 3-week photography reflection project. Adults will facilitate discussion with 6th-12th graders on relevant, everyday topics such as toxic stress, police-youth relationships, conflict resolution, technology, violence, and more, focusing on social-emotional development in a customized design and curriculum. EYEJ has connected with over 1,600 underserved students in Cleveland and surrounding districts with this unique program, currently conducted virtually.
