Through its Writing and Alumni Programs, the Los Angeles-based nonprofit InsideOUT Writers provides a continuum of care to young adult people that have been impacted by the criminal justice system, by taking a deep look a their lives, their pasts. We proudly partnered with IOW’s re-entry and alumni program to share powerful, personal stories of young people impacted by substance abuse and related challenges.
This is a magazine from our partner, Youth Communication, a New York City-based nonprofit that helps educators engage struggling youth and build their social, emotional and literacy skills. We have published articles written by teens for their column created through Represent, Youth Communication’s magazine written by and for youth in foster care.
