Momentum Advisory Collective

October is Youth Justice Action Month (#YJAM).?Café Momentum Pittsburgh kicked it off in the most special way by welcoming Liz Ryan, Administrator of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), for a site visit and family meal. This year's YJAM theme, "YOUth Matter," resonated as our interns presented a vision board reflecting their perspectives on youth justice. It was a powerful experience highlighting the importance of giving young voices the space to share their dreams while coming together as a community over a meal. This month, we invite you to learn more about OJJDP’s initiatives by visiting: https://lnkd.in/g-E8mZyB. #YJAM2024 #YOUthMatter #EatDrinkChangeLives #CafeMomentum #CreateChange4YouthJustice
