Green Arrow Co-Lab is developing programming to provide an alternative and progressive juvenile justice solution that helps individuals connect to nature, build confidence, and explore their passions.

Your donation is crucial to support the young people in our communities of need.

We are raising money to:
- create in-depth programming that encompasses justice issues, inner and community healing, the environment, and self-discovery.
- finalize our virtual curriculum for middle and high school students
- develop Green Arrow CoLab as an alternative Healing Center location for youth

As Los Angeles and California work to shut-down juvenile halls and camps, we are working to develop a location for intensive healing and transformation that acts as a reentry facility and/or diversion program for those facing possible sentencing. 

Join us as we cultivate a community of youth advocates and activists, reduce recidivism, and inspire younger generations to find their passion.


Why I Do This Work:

50-75% of the 2 million youth encountering the juvenile justice system meet the criteria for a mental health disorder (Lee A. Underwood)

L.A. County spends more than $800,000 a year to incarcerate one young person (Youth Justice, 2020)

Lack of funding has long been one of the main causes of our failure to provide the services needed to keep children out of the juvenile justice system (Mental Health America, 2015)

Almost 60% of LA County voters support investing in care over punishment. (Youth Justice, 2020)

Measure J allocates at least 10% (~$400MM) of the County’s locally generated, unrestricted funding to address racial injustice through…alternatives to incarceration. (more here)
