We’ll have a conversation about The Beat Within, a writing and conversation program in juvenile halls. The organization serves over 5,000 youth through workshops in California county juvenile halls.
The Beat Within partners with community organizations working to ensure formerly incarcerated youth lead a healthy, nonviolent, and productive life. They also publish a biweekly magazine.
