JustLeadershipUSA was founded in November 2014 on the principle that those closest to the incarceration problem are closest to the solution, but furthest from power and resources. Through its work, JLUSA empowers, trains and provides technical assistance to people most affected by incarceration to help them drive grassroots activism and policy reform. JLUSA invests in and empowers formerly incarcerated men and women to lead local and national criminal justice reform efforts through its 12-month, cohort-based Leading with Conviction (LwC) advanced leadership training and its day-long Emerging Leaders program. This grant will allow JLUSA to build and expand its leadership programs.
