On May 26, the Bay Area-based Young Women’s Freedom Center (YWFC) officially opened the doors of a new Los Angeles center, and simultaneously unveiled a magazine written by and for system-impacted youth.
YWFC has been integral to efforts to reduce juvenile incarceration in Northern California, and to the passage of local and state-level legislation meant to improve the lives of young people who come into contact with the justice system.
The expansion into LA means that local youth now have access to a host of YWFC programs, including weekly community circles, holistic health services mentorship programs, re-entry assistance, employment training and opportunities, and more.
