Webinar Tip Sheet: Revolutionizing Probation from Punishment to Community-Led Safety, Part I

On March 26, 2026, the Gault Center, Youth Empowerment for Advancement Hangout (YEAH Philly), and the Institute of Women and Ethnic Studies hosted a webinar introducing a framework to shift narratives and practices around juvenile probation to move from punishment to possibility for all youth. This tip sheet compiles some of the key takeaways and resources that came out of the webinar and offers a starting point to build narrative strategies around the need for change and community-based solutions. This tip sheet is offered as part of the Juvenile Probation Accountability Coalition.
