Avenues for justice
Avenues for Justice (AFJ) is a NYC non-profit organization that has continued to provide free-post arrest support to at-risk youths for over 40 years.
As one of the first Alternative-to-Incarceration programs for youth in the country, Avenues for Justice (AFJ) has protected NYC’s court-involved and at-risk youth from incarceration, replacing cells with services.
AFJ provides free on-going court advocacy along with their HIRE UP online and onsite enrichment programs for workforce training, education, mental health and mentoring to over 500 young people, ages 13-24, each year.
On average, 93% of AFJ’s court-involved Participants avoid reconviction within three years of enrollment into the program, making our alternative to incarceration (ATI) program one of the most successful, cost-effective models in the US.
