About Us
Mission: 

The Social Justice Learning Institute is dedicated to improving the overall health, education and well-being of youth and communities of color by empowering them to enact change through research, training and community mobilization. We envision a world where community members can use their own agency to change each other's lives.

Programs: 

Our goals are simple.

We work to:

- build capacity for individuals and communities to advocate for their needs;

- train and build leaders;

- educate and empower youth and community members to identify and rectify injustice;

- deliver effective programs, resources and support that help advance our mission.

To meet these goals, we work with youth, residents, local schools, districts and city officials to increase educational opportunities through innovative programs and sustainable practices. We also develop and manage programs that advance academic, food and environmental justice.

Our programs include:

Educational Equity

Health Equity

Policy & Advocacy
