… With Justice For All

Ginny Baxter and Charlotte Joseph, Co- Presidents

Our November Program will feature a talk on the Justice Scholars Program (JSP). It is a student support program housed within the Student Equity department at Long Beach City College. The Justice Scholars program is a part of The California Community Colleges Rising Scholars Network.

The mission of Long Beach City College’s Justice Scholars Program is to create an inclusive, equitable, and just campus environment for Formerly Incarcerated and System Impacted Students. The organization is committed to providing educational, social, and  professional tools needed to reduce recidivism and increase persistence. The goal is to support students from reentry to graduation and/or transfer.

Formerly incarcerated person refers to anyone who has been in a lock up setting and is now released. Systems impacted include those who have been incarcerated, those with arrests/convictions, but no incarceration, and those who have been directly impacted by a family member who has been incarcerated.

Join us to learn more about this unique program. The meeting on Saturday, November 6 will be hybrid style with members attending in person at LBCC or on Zoom.
