Californians for Justice’s Impact on the Educational and Civic Pathways of Youth
A ground breaking new study by a group of researchers from USC and UCLA’s Institute for Democracy, Action, and Access (IDEA). This study found that “Young people who participated in Californians for Justice while in high school are far more likely than their peers to have moved on to four-year colleges and universities and far more likely to participate in civic life.” In addition to winning policies and organizing in schools and communities, CFJ has created a powerful learning environment that shapes the trajectories of young people’s lives. We are proud of all our alumni and the caliber of civic leaders that they become once they leave here.
