"[Avenues for Justice] may be a model to follow. It fills many of the roles of an effective criminal justice system, including punishment, counseling, and rehabilitation.”
"The work of AFJ is helping to reimagine a criminal justice system beyond bars, making new starts possible for thousands of New Yorkers. [Robin Hood's] work is driven by a core value: we believe that where you start out in life should not define where you end up. Every day, the team at AFJ epitomizes this value. We are so proud of the partnership we share with you, and the legacy of transformation your work has left of thousands of New Yorkers in need."
“At a time when the incarceration rate in America is the highest of any nation in the world…AFJ has questioned the status quo to become one of our most successful and cost-effective crime prevention programs.”
“Judges have come to rely upon Angel, his integrity and the [Avenues for Justice] as a truly meaningful and worthwhile alternative to incarceration.”
We’re incredibly grateful to the PSA Network for amplifying our mission and sharing our work across NYC digital screens. Through this partnership, our #CreatingAMoreJustFuture campaign will be visible citywide until Friday, May 23rd, bringing greater awareness to the importance of investing in young people and offering Second Chances.
Together, we’re not just imagining a better future—we’re creating it.
