Leading with Conviction™ (LwC) is a year-long, cohort-based advanced leadership training for formerly incarcerated, mid-senior level leaders with a specific and proven track record in advocacy and community organizing.
The Emerging Leaders™ (EL) Trainings are day-long leadership development opportunities in cities around the country for advocates directly impacted by the criminal justice system or juvenile justice system. Direct impact includes arrest with or without conviction, incarceration, probation, or parole.
JLUSA’s alumni network is activated and mobilized to drive policy reform and community reinvestment strategies that help advance JLUSA’s national efforts to cut the U.S. correctional population in half.
This roadmap is the first to be informed by the expertise of our growing, nationwide network of directly impacted leaders, grassroots organizations and institutional knowledge of the inner operations of governmental entities.
