About Calgary Youth Justice Society

For vulnerable youth, the difference between trouble and triumph is a community that cares. We connect adult volunteers with young people who need support, in some cases because they have been in conflict with the law. Our approach is strength focused, seeing beyond what’s wrong to nurture what’s strong.

 

Strong not wrong.

Our philosophical approach.

Where others might see deficits and risk, we see strengths and possibility. Watch these three amazing young people talk about how they found their way, and find out how you can help people just like them to do the same.
