Journeys to Justice
Today, girls are under a lot of
pressure emotionally, socially, and academically.
There are worries about grade point averages, the college
application process, graduation, financial aid applications,
etc. There is so
much to navigate that it is easy to overlook potential career
options, especially in the justice-related fields.
Journeys to Justice is a community outreach program that
seeks to educate school age girls about careers in
justice-related fields, how to plan for and build a career, and
the value of networking and professional development.
Journeys to Justice
brings female role models in the justice-related fields into
schools and girl’s leadership organizations to speak with girls
about careers and confidence.
Educating and empowering girls to pursue careers in
justice-related fields will increase the qualified candidate
pool for tomorrow’s leadership positions.
Program goals: •
Encourage girls to
explore careers in justice related fields. •
Introduce girls to
successful female role models, who will share stories about
themselves as young women, and offer guidance and advice as to
how to plan a path for success. •
Build confidence;
encourage girls to feel comfortable sharing their ideas and
being part of the discussion.
The Journeys to
Justice Program was created by the Women Working in Corrections
Committee of the NJ Chapter of the American Correctional
Association. For
