Event Overview
Do you believe in second chances? We do! April is recognized as Second Chance Month for juveniles incarcerated in the justice system. You can help Writers in Residence give our youth another chance and transform the lives of justice-involved youth through creative writing and mentorship by participating in its Juvenile Justice 5K and 1-mile Walk. That's right, you don't need to break a sweat to support a great cause! Whether you run, walk, or cheer along the course, your participation creates real change.
