Community Works seeks to transform justice through programs and policies rooted in humanity and healing. 

**Who We Are?** 

Launched over 25 years ago as a source of innovation, Community Works serves people along the spectrum of justice system involvement. Our community includes currently/formerly incarcerated and system-impacted people, the majority of whom are Black or brown and low-income, including youth at risk for incarceration or whose parents are incarcerated. 

**What We Do?** 

CW prevents young people from entering criminal legal systems and improves outcomes for any who do by transforming justice at both the individual and systemic levels. We seek to move away from a systems-centered paradigm of safety and justice reliant on ineffective punitive measures and instead toward community-centered approaches that focus on equity, accountability, relationships, and healing.
