OUR MISSION

The mission of Justice for Black Girls is to disrupt educational, carceral and cultural systems that harm young Black girls while creating liberated educational spaces for Black girls ages 13-24.


Justice for Black Girls positions Black girls ages 13-24 to see themselves as civic, education & justice leaders who have the power innovate and actualize solutions to systemic issues.  Recognizing that Black girls are the experts on issues they face, JBG centers the academic and policy work of the girls themselves and provides a safe space for them to do that work with joy.

Justice for Black Girls is a social justice education space that serves Black girls ’ needs for protection, safety, and belonging through a holistic culture of care coupled with Black feminist curriculum, grassroots collaborations, and academic partnerships.
