What our program participants are saying

Our middle and high school youth group loves the Youth for Justice lessons. They provide just the right mix of discussion questions, prayers, and relevant videos with the hands-on, in-person learning that teens need. If you are looking for a program that relates social justice to Christian teaching, this is it!

We have really different ideas about a lot of things, but I think the main thing that we agree on is that we believe in justice. We believe that as people of faith, we need to be active in our community to make sure that all people have a sense of hope and that all people have equal access and opportunities to a quality of life.

I was a little skeptical of this program on my first day of the class; I was the only person of color and less than 50 years old and wondering if the course's material would even be relevant to my experience. I'm glad I stayed because I learned so much and was able to share so much of my experience and my community and the environmental justice work that I do from an urban perspective that opened the minds of all of my classmates. It was an awesome experience that I'd recommend to everyone.
