💙Building knowledge, skills, learning resources and making connections. 💙
We spent the day getting out into the communityour public library, Maine Family Planning, and our local Congressman’s office. We also stopped to celebrate democracy and connect with some of our older community members. 🫶🏽🇺🇸

📢This summer was a busy one! As we transition into the next season, will you help us celebrate these fellas and remind them just how awesome they are? 💙

These young men were surprised with a trip to Funtown—and we couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate their growth. ❤️

Just a few months ago, some of these accomplishments may have felt out of reach. Today, they’re becoming reality:

✨ Gaining employment
📚 Working toward education goals
🤝 Consistently engaging with YLJ several days a week
🌱 Showing up for themselves
💪🏾Showing up for their families and communities
🕊️Giving back through community service

Our dream is that every young person gets the chance to grow up, while also having the safety, support, and freedom to simply be a kid for a little longer.

What a treat! 🥰 Our friends from An Angel’s Wing, Breaking Bread and Restorative Justice Project Maine joined us for Community Convos in the Park! 💙

The pool has officially closed for the season, so a few less visitors left us with some extra popsicles! 🍧 We ventured around the park, cooler in tow, handing them out and connecting with our community.

Community Conversations in the Park — Augusta! 🌱

What a beautiful day for recovery, connection, and community in the park, hosted by Housing FGC!

YLJ was grateful to pass out our remaining 5 firearm lockboxes, provided by Maine Gun Safety Coalition, helping make safe firearm storage more accessible in our communities.

Statewide collaboration is necessary as we navigate public safety while building equitable, accessible, and meaningful programs for youth. When we come together, we create stronger communities and better opportunities for everyone. 💙

Thank you to Sarah Squirrell, Director of Maine’s Office of Behavioral Health, for recognizing Youth-LED Justice at the 8th Annual Governor’s Opioid Summit. We’re honored to have our work highlighted.
The shout-out may have increased our need for popsicles 🍦😂—good thing we’re always ready for community conversations. Grateful for your support of youth, restorative approaches, and showing up. 💙
