The City of New Rochelle, working in partnership with the Center for Justice Innovation (CJI), and Columbia University’s Center for Justice, launched the Justice Ambassadors Program in New Rochelle. With the goal of reducing youth involvement in the criminal justice system, breaking down racial and ethnic boundaries, and promoting healthy adolescent development, the Justice Ambassadors will bring together local government executives and young adults 18-25 to co-develop policy proposals intended to address community challenges and advance justice system reform.
