Dear Juvie,
Our Mission
We are a youth-led organization that seeks to connect detained youth in juvenile detention or correctional facilities to youth in the community through letters of hope, love, and encouragement. Together, we can combat the loneliness and disconnection felt behind detention walls that have helped contribute to skyrocketing numbers of mental health issues in juvenile detainees. Using the power of the written word, we believe that all youth should be able to feel seen and heard - no matter where they are.
Our Vision
To promote a world where no youth feels alone.
Our Values
We promote and uphold service in all of our projects. We hope to serve the community and our youth through letter writing.
Serving Others
We treat everyone with dignity and respect, no matter where they are or who they are!
Respecting Others
We strive to instill and promote hope in all youths - a hope for a better life and a better future.
Instilling Hope

For the underrepresented, underresourced, and underserved
