Thank you for supporting CCEJ and our vision of a world where people live free of oppression and thrive!
"Sharing helps others feel safe. Connecting with others opens doors for us to be better leaders. I will use what I learn to be an upstander and advocate for others." - CCEJ Youth Leader
"CCEJ’s Camp is a place that you can openly be yourself without judgement. Our racial affinity groups had much-needed conversations to bring us to more common ground. I’m ready to become a youth leader to continue these convos at school and at home!" - CCEJ Youth Leader
"CCEJ's diversion program helped me see that I'm not the only one going through things, and I learned how to deal with my emotions. We learned that we won't have to be defined by what some would consider our biggest mistakes." - CCEJ Restorative Youth Diversion program graduate
"During our program, our facilitators emphasized that all humans want and deserve to feel seen, heard, and understood. This is a compass that guides the ways that I show up to conflict transformation work with others- it guides my self-reflection and awareness, my listening skills, my empathy, and how I hold other people's stories and needs." - Adult Training Participant
