Fueling social justice provides a young scholar increased opportunity for both academic and community enhancement success.Through stronger youth development efforts in host schools, after-school and prevention program planning, operations for both academic and social support can be created to address systemic deficiencies found within many lower performing urban demographics burdened by social inequities. Through culturally relevant and intentional social justice education, scholars can be provided with greater understanding of social affairs and advocacy.
