COVID-19: Remote Workshops
![]() Teaching Youthful Offenders On-Line: Lessons Learned from AFJ’s First On-Line Class ![]() AFJ volunteer, Nina, teaching Creative Writing at AFJ's youth center. Since closing our youth centers in Harlem and the Lower East Side to our youth offenders and at-risk teens due to the COVID-19 quarantine, Avenues for Justice (AFJ) is moving services on-line, including classes, mentoring and curfew check-ins. Because so many of our youth have no digital access, AFJ is also purchasing cell phones for them.

If you would like to volunteer to teach an on-line class for our youth offenders and at-risk teens, please contact Johnny Jara at "> .
