Fresh Lifelines For Youth (FLY) - Law Program


  • Mission

    FLY's mission is to partner with youth to unlock their potential, disrupt the pipeline to prison, and advance justice in California and beyond. FLY envisions a country where all kids grow up valued and supported, and the pipeline to prison is replaced with meaningful opportunities for kids to live healthy, free, and productive lives that make stronger, safer, and more vibrant communities for us all.

    About Us

    FLY was founded in 2000 guided by the input of youth in the juvenile justice system to create programs grounded in legal education, mentoring, and leadership training. Our goal is that by 2030, FLY will help dismantle California's pipeline to prison, equip 30,000 juvenile-justice and at-risk youth to transform their lives, and strengthen services for marginalized youth in California and beyond. FLY was named California NonProfit of the Year in 2021, our Founder was one of the first in the United States to receive the Ashoka Fellowship for Social Entrepreneurship in the field of juvenile justice.
