Communities United for Restorative Youth Justice (CURYJ) operates in the civic and social sector, focusing on unlocking youth leadership to reduce reliance on punitive systems and support healing, aspirations, and activism among young people. Based in Oakland, California, CURYJ advocates for transformation and policy shifts aimed at ending youth incarceration in the state by 2030, emphasizing that every young person is sacred and worth empowering. The organization engages with communities to address the harms caused by criminal justice, immigration, foster care, policing, and education systems, offering an approach that blends individual and collective healing with advocacy. CURYJ collaborates with local partners and community groups to advance its mission, and has recent activity partnerships in the Bay Area, such as a collaboration with Visit Oakland for a holiday toy drive and market in late 2023. In the broader field, CURYJ sits among nonprofit organizations that address youth justice and community safety through restorative and transformative practices, aligning with peers that pursue systemic change and youth-centered leadership.
