Quote which reads "Although the criminal justice system deals with young people known to them for crime-related law violations, a more proactive engagement with young people 'on the edge' is vital."
Too often, support for young people comes only after they’ve entered the Criminal Justice System. Fearless Youth Association (FYA) reaches them earlier—providing consistent #engagement, skills training, and confidence-building to help them choose #positive paths. Learn more👇

Picture of a quote saying "the biggest challenge is short-term and time-bound funding, which results in unsustainable youth support initiatives."
Short-term #funding makes it hard for grassroots youth orgs like FYA to keep delivering consistent support. Sustainable funding is key to their work in the Criminal Justice System—engaging young people, building skills, and creating #opportunities to move away from violence.

Quote which reads "The young people we support experience multiple disadvantages which increases their likelihood of being targeted by police and victimised."
Young people who experience multiple disadvantages are more likely to be targeted by police and victimised. #Grassroots organisations like Fearless Youth Association (FYA) provide crucial support to help them move away from #youthviolence.
