The Ethics Project
Helping Communities Address Trauma, Violence, and the Roots of Youth Disconnection
The Ethics Project brings together educators, community leaders, law enforcement, and justice professionals to address the root causes of violence and help young people thrive.
Our Work
Mission Statement
"To improve the well-being of our youth and strengthen our community by addressing the impact of crime, incarceration and injustice on children, families and the community as a whole."
Our Vision
"The vision of The Ethics Project is a more just, equitable and less punitive society that recognizes and encourages the talents and abilities of all."
The Ethics Project advances ethical leadership and community healing through youth engagement, national dialogue, and trauma-informed practices. Through vehicles such as the National Youth Summit on Education, Justice, and Leadership, the Youth Art and Writing Project, The State of Public Safety, and the Center for Relational Healing, we continue to strive to create a less punitive society and help our children and families thrive.
Communities across the country are searching for solutions that strengthen relationships, support young people, and restore trust. We bring together educators, justice professionals, and community leaders to create those solutions.
What We Do
The Ethics Project works at the intersection of justice, education, and community healing. Through youth programs, leadership forums, and trauma-informed training, we bring together diverse voices to develop solutions that strengthen communities and expand opportunity.
