Be a part of our work to create a fair and effective justice system for Michigan's children, youth, and young adults.
MCYJ at a Glance
The Michigan Center for Youth Justice (MCYJ) is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing policies and practices that reduce confinement and support trauma-informed, racially equitable, socio-economically and culturally responsive, community-based solutions for Michigan’s justice-involved children, youth and young adults.
Debt-Free Justice
Every year, justice-involved young people in Michigan and their families are thrown into significant debt due to excessive court fines and fees levied upon them as they move through the juvenile justice system.
You can learn more about our campaign here. Please take action by urging the House Judiciary Committee to vote YES on Debt-Free Justice legislation!
