Restorative Justice for Black Girls A Humanizing and Healing Informed Praxis

Who understands the needs of young people better than young people themselves? Code Switch: Restorative Justice for Girls of Color shifts power and decision-making to the people who know best - Impacted Youth. Traditional leadership hierarchies are eliminated, and young people take the lead in offering innovative solutions to address community challenges. Focused on building a shared understanding of what youth power and leadership can look like in K-12 spaces, this webinar explores the power of youth leadership to confront school pushout and the other systemic barriers that Black and other girls of color face inside of Clark County's classrooms and schools. We'll also discuss how Code Switch leverages the diverse lived experiences and identities of the girls they serve to explore how schools and communities can create empowered learning spaces where young people thrive, achieve, and lead.
