The Institute is entering an exciting new chapter of growth and collaboration. We are expanding our reach and strengthening our partnerships to ensure that students from all seven Spartanburg County School Districts are represented in each cohort, while we are also making additional intentional efforts to encourage private schools, charter schools, and home school networks to participate as well. By bringing together voices from every corner of our community, we are creating a stronger, more connected network that reflects the richness and diversity of learning across Spartanburg County.
As part of this expansion, we are expanding our internship offerings. This will allow more students to explore a career within the justice system, contributing to building a career pipeline of talent into our local justice system.
We are excited to relaunch our website, creating a more engaging online space to celebrate students’ achievements, highlight community partnerships, and make it easier for supporters like you to stay connected and see your impact in action.
We’re also building new partnerships with local organizations, businesses, and higher education institutions. Together, we’re laying a strong foundation for long-term growth, one that will allow us to reach more students, strengthen community ties, and expand our influence across Spartanburg County and beyond.
Exciting things are happening for the Institute for Youth Justice and we are grateful for the many partners who help make that happen! Learn more about our partnerships.
