Established in 1984, the Urban Justice Center (UJC)s mission is to provide a platform for dynamic advocates to fuel social change, leading the way for a just, fair, and decent society. Through this work, UJC strengthens families and communities in New York City and beyond. UJCs work alleviates poverty, secures income and family stability, ensures access to healthcare, ends violence, promotes safety, and builds stronger communities. UJC serves New York City's most vulnerable low-income and marginalized populations, victims of trauma and abuse, and those facing direct threats to their safety, including survivors of intimate partner and gender-based violence, homeless LGBTQ youth, victims of human trafficking, people with mental health concerns, and people of color who are disproportionately impacted by the criminal justice system. 

For those that know me, my day to day work is focused on creating more diverse, equitable, and inclusive environments, systems, and processes in the workplace. UJC's mission aligns with my profession and passion but on a much larger scale. UJC's mission to advance those from historically marginalized backgrounds and build a pipeline of social justice leaders resonates with the mission I have for my own work--to build sustainable solutions for a more equitable world. I would love if you can give what you can today!
