We seek an organization who would benefit from learners' insights into and evaluation of U.S. and international youth and justice issues.

Learners are completing introductory studies on Disability, Justice and Advocacy Issues. We examine how the application of a children’s rights framework contributes to an understanding of youth and justice issues both in the U.S. and worldwide.

Students will:

• Assess how social constructions of children and childhood are shaped by gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, age, and citizenship
• Explain how social constructions shape policies and practices related to youth and justice issues
• Justify the use of incorporating children’s voices and lived experiences when discussing and developing solutions to pressing youth and justice issues.

Possible outcomes and deliverables:

• research support on advocacy related topics
• creation of social media posts, blogs or short videos raising awareness around a children's welfare related topic
• creation of small learning modules around specific child welfare and advocacy related topics

Please feel free to propose other deliverables, we are flexible in format as long as the content relates to our learning outcomes!
