What is Youth Justice Link?
Youth Justice Link (formerly Youth Leaders in Law BC) is a youth-led nonprofit organization focused on promoting access to justice for youth in British Columbia.
Established in 2021, YJL has reached over 2,500 British Columbian youth through our community events and resources. ​​​
​
We believe that access to justice can be promoted for youth by lessening the divide between youth communities and an extremely confusing legal system. We do this by promoting accessible legal resources, educating youth about their rights, and allowing for youth to speak to career professionals to learn more about BC's legal system and career opportunities within it.
Our Work
At Youth Justice Link, we do work through three pillars to promote access to justice.
Accessible Legal Resources
Youth Justice Link promotes legal resources in our local community through brochures, online resources, and community-based presentations.
Legal Rights Education
We hold monthly ZOOM webinars on topics related to youth legal rights in BC. These webinars are open to everyone and ensures that youth are in the know about their rights!
Career Guidance
Youth Justice Link exposes youth participants to information about future careers in law and provides the opportunity to learn from legal professionals.
