EMBRACE OUR OWN CAMPAIGN

This giving season we ask you to join us in sending a message to incarcerated and formerly incarcerated youth: We Embrace You.

Youth who end up in the juvenile justice system are our nation’s most underserved, isolated, and shunned. They need to be surrounded by people who care about them, who create opportunities for them to pursue their dreams and build their futures. We develop great schools inside of juvenile and adult jails, we support students unrelentingly when they are released, and we advocate locally and nationally on their behalf. Join us in wrapping arms around justice-involved youth.

Help us embrace our own.

When you donate to CEEAS, your gift creates educational opportunities, improving the life chances of system-involved young people. Donations can be made easily online or by mail. All donations are tax deductible.

Welcoming Youth Back into the Community

At the Welcoming Project we ensure justice-involved youth returning to New Orleans from detention are successful. By engaging them in their education, providing internship and work opportunities, and surrounding them with a broad range of individuals and institutions, we embrace and empower our youth.

Top-Growth School

The Orleans Parish School Board recognized us as a Top-Growth School in ELA for the 2017-18 school year, as 60% of THS students outperformed their non-incarcerated peers.

Co-Ed Classes

Before we arrived at the Orleans Justice Center, girls were not afforded the opportunity to attend school. We changed this and incorporated them to create co-ed classes.

Opening up Technology and Internet

We opened up access to internet and other technologies at our schools. In doing so, we make learning more engaging, relevant, and meaningful for our students.
