FLYs mission is to partner with youth to unlock their potential disrupt the pipeline to prison and advance justice in California and beyond. FLYs VisionFLY envisions a country where all kids grow up valued and supported and the pipeline to prison is replaced with meaningful opportunities for kids to live healthy free and productive lives that make stronger safer and more vibrant communities for us all. When FLY was founded in 2000 we were guided by the input of youth in the juvenile justice system to create programs grounded in legal education mentoring and leadership training. Over the past 25 years we have continuously sought the input of young people impacted by the youth justice system to grow and evolve our program offerings.
