Are you a youth (age 14-24) or family member who has had experience with the juvenile justice system? The Legal Rights Center, in partnership with the Minnesota Coalition for Youth Justice and National Juvenile Justice Network, is launching a 2020-21 Youth Justice Organizing Fellowship. We’re looking for 10 people to join this paid fellowship to empower their communities and advocate for statewide and local change in the juvenile justice system. 

What makes you the right person for the fellowship?
  • You have experience with any point of the juvenile justice system (ex: arrest, detention, incarceration, probation, diversion).
  • ​You have a commitment to advocating for change by sharing your story and building community power.
  • You have the capacity to fully participate, and can be reached by phone and email.

What’s the fellowship experience? 
  • An 8 month commitment from August 2020 - April 2021
  • $1,000 stipend (approximately $15/hour)
  • 8 hours per month which will include:
    • 1-2 hours of cohort training and strategy, covering topics like Minnesota’s juvenile justice system and tools for community organizing & policy advocacy
    • 1-2 hours of participation in MN Coalition for Youth Justice Meetings
    •  4-6 hours of field work (ex: media outreach, advocating with elected officials, spreading community awareness, direct work with system-involved youth and families)

If you’re interested in joining the fellowship, please call, text, or email Malaika Hankins, Community Strategy Lead at the Legal Rights Center (mhankins@legalrightscenter.org, 612-460-1836).
