  • Sobre Nós

    Youth for Innocence is a collective of high school and college students dedicated to overturning wrongful convictions. We are looking for volunteers for both post-conviction work and outreach, which includes social media and blog posts. Through our volunteering, we give students first-hand experience with criminal law, aid lawyers in investigating the thousands of letters they receive from prisoners claiming innocence, and take the first steps for prisoners to achieve their exoneration. In our initial training program, we teach student volunteers to evaluate cases, examine new evidence, and assist pro bono attorneys with RT notes and summaries of cases. Volunteers then apply this knowledge to real-life cases, gaining first-hand experience with legal work and the administration of justice, and earning community service hours, which can be validated if needed.
