Justice-Impacted Students
A “justice impacted student” is at risk of being incarcerated or has been formally incarcerated, has had a sibling, parent or extended family member involved in the justice system or has in some other way been affected by law enforcement to the point where such an involvement has altered their life. Justice-Impacted Students often face financial issues, housing and food insecurity and have difficulty finding employment. Emotional support is often needed after having been impacted by the justice system.
Our program can assist justice-impacted students by providing the tools, skills, and avenues needed to achieve academic success and stability for the future.
