Correction through Connection. Our goal is to reduce the cycle of recidivism in which many of our vulnerable youth have become trapped.
Our environmental stewards welcomed spring and soaked in some vitamin D by pulling broom, an invasive plant that grows all over Marin County. Mitigating its growth increases biodiversity… and is sooo satisfying 🌱

Despite a very rainy season, the skies have parted for all but one of our programs over the entire winter… our youth in custody and our interns on and post probation have been immersed in nature and all its healing ❤️🩹 powers.

Thank you to National Charity League for inviting us to speak at their chapter meeting. Shout out to credible messenger Marlin Jeffreys for sharing his story of hope after 26 years in prison. We appreciate all raising awareness about juvenile incarceration locally and nationally.
Opportunity for youth when paired with self-regulation skills is a winning combination! Shout out to the Lionheart Foundation for guiding facilitators to teach these skills. As humans full of emotion, we all need them. We review for ourselves each time we teach them. #Twitter

Sunflowers and cucumbers grown by youth in Marin’s juvenile hall... are like a tiny miracle to me, every time I see them pop from the soil. They tell us that growth is possible, in our garden and in ourselves
