“Youth Empowering Youth”
“In a storm of grief, it is ultimately the love, not the regret or anger, that makes us bend the furthest.”
– Gaye Theresa Johnson
“Latinos represent the fastest growing group being incarcerated in American today. In California prisons, Latino men make up the largest ethnic majority at 42 percent. In Santa Barbara County, Latino youth make up 60 percent of our juvenile justice system. Last year, the Fund for Santa Barbara awarded a grant to Freedom for Youth (F4Y) for their youth-led work to reduce recidivism in the juvenile justice system.”
