summer youth fellowship 2025

This summer A More Just NYC will be hosting its first-ever youth fellowship. We are excited to work alongside young people to ensure we are highlighting the youth perspectives on the need to close Rikers and connecting public safety to community investments. We are committed to making criminal justice information more accessible to diverse communities and plan to do so, by developing a report on young people who were at Rikers and a short-video. Fellows will also attend workshops learning about the history of Rikers and how the fight to close down Rikers and improve public safety connects to other issues in the community (mental health, housing justice, education justice, etc.).

Please stay updated with us by visiting this page! Unfortunately, we are no longer taking applications but encourage young people to apply next year. For any questions, please reach our Program Manager, Giovana at giovana@moresjustnyc.org
