Working to address all forms of discrimination against youth and families who have been impacted by the criminal legal system.
Youth & Young Adults
Our CARE Collaborators provide peer counseling, organize recreational activities, and offer systems navigation assistance for justice- and system- impacted youth in schools and on the streets. Our youth programming connects peers to education, housing, counseling, and other supports that align with their specified goals.
Mutual Aid
Our Mutual Aid Team (MAT) provides weekly outreach to distribute food, drinks, naloxone, propane, and other supplies to our justice-impacted neighbors on the streets, and connects neighbors to resources within the community.
Community Education
CARE works collaboratively with Washington’s key stakeholders to identify methods of re-allocating funds and other resources from carceral systems to services benefitting our most marginalized residents.
