Detention Watch Network

Overview
Headquarters: 
Washington D.C., DC, USA
Website: 
detentionwatchnetwork.org
Founded: 
1997
About Us
Areas of Focus: 
Civil Rights / Social Justice
Mission: 

Detention Watch Network (DWN) is a national coalition building power through collective advocacy, grassroots organizing, and strategic communications to abolish immigration detention in the United States.

Programs: 

Immigration detention is a key component of the United States’ immigration enforcement apparatus. By focusing primarily on immigrant incarceration, Detention Watch Network aims to remove one of the drivers of mass deportations while also addressing the broader role of incarceration and criminalization in U.S. society. DWN’s core purpose is to bring together complementary strategies for a multi-pronged approach to ending detention, including organizing, advocacy, litigation, direct service, research and communications. DWN provides a space for networking and information sharing as well as for sharing analysis and expertise on shifting government policies. Building the capacity of members through training and peer-exchange is an important aspect of DWN’s work. The Network’s theory of change posits that a paradigm shift from an emphasis on punishment and deportation to one that promotes dignity and freedom must take place in order for us to achieve our vision.

Founded:

About Us
Areas of Focus: 
Education
Mission: 

YouthBuild Philadelphia Charter School’s mission is to empower young adults, 17-20 year-olds, to develop skills and connect to opportunities by fostering an environment of love, support, and respect for their whole person.

Programs: 

YouthBuild’s one-of-a-kind program combines an accelerated academic program with vocational training and service learning. We are the largest YouthBuild program in the U.S. and one of Pennsylvania’s first charter schools. As an AmeriCorps program, we provide thousands of hours of valuable service to Philadelphia every year.

Why Work For Us?: 

YouthBuild Philadelphia functions as a hardworking team in a friendly, family environment. The organization’s mission is to provide out-of-school youth with the broadest range of tools, supports, and opportunities to become self-sufficient, responsible, contributing members and leaders in their community. We are more than a school; our services span a two-year period during which students first earn a high school diploma and a trade certification, then transition into higher education and/or employment. Our employees share a commitment to our mission and are dedicated to ensuring high standards in education, support and community development.

Here’s what our employees have enjoyed about working at YouthBuild:

  • “All of our work is student-centered, and not just because we want it to be. We purposefully and intentionally place all of our energy into the student experience.”
  • “The respect and genuine love the staff has for each other.”
