This document is designed to gather community resources. Community Lawyers and community partners can use community resources to help residents in Slate Canyon Detention Center and at-risk youth in the community. Any part we can have at facilitating that help and guidance will change a lot more than that resident or at-risk youth's life. Community Lawyering's influence will affect the parents, siblings, friends, associates and potentially future victims that will never be victimized. This is the meaning of Community Lawyering. We are affecting the community one person at a time. We help a juvenile and therefore the community as a whole.
On the flip side of Community Lawyering, we use the community to help the one. As the African Proverb says, It takes a village to raise a child. We must consistently enlist more community partners to assist us in helping the youth. This web page is designed to be a resource to parents and community members to join forces to help our rising generation be productive and healthy. There are currently 19 sections below to help with that quest. If you have ideas on how to improve this site, please see below where you can send us an e-mail.
