Youth Sentencing and Reentry Project
Founded
January 1, 2014
YSRP is inspired by the belief that no person is all good or all bad, and that no child should be defined by the worst thing he or she has ever done. The experiences of the young people, Juvenile Lifers and their families with whom we partner highlight the significant need for the services and supports YSRP was created to provide. Marcus, a 16 year-old boy tried as an adult said, “in criminal court, I felt like I was the smallest person in the room, with the biggest problem.” YSRP is driven by the goal of preventing additional children and families from surviving that same fate.

Greenpeace
Founded
September 15, 1971
Greenpeace is an independent, global campaigning network dedicated to defending the natural world and promoting a greener, more peaceful future. Founded in Canada in 1971 by anti-nuclear activists, the organization uses non-violent direct action and creative confrontation to expose global environmental problems, such as climate change, deforestation, overfishing, and nuclear threats, and to advocate for tangible solutions. Notably, Greenpeace maintains complete financial independence by refusing donations from governments, corporations, or political parties, relying instead on millions of individual supporters worldwide. This independence allows them to hold powerful institutions accountable through investigations, lobbying, and dramatic protests, aiming to transform industry and policy to protect biodiversity and ensure a sustainable Earth.
