About us | EYEJ empowers and amplifies the voices of teens and pre-teens by bridging them with diverse individuals to engage in interactive discussions centered around social justice. Through outreach, discussion, and advocacy, EYEJ meets Cleveland’s underserved youth where they are and empowers them with tools and strategies to create positive change in their lives and our community. We believe a commitment to social justice requires us to value our collective diversity and commit to challenging injustice while simultaneously advocating on behalf of those who have the least. Through the Discussion Series and EYEJ Impact 25 Youth Council, EYEJ has served 1,500 underserved youth, 99% of color and considered to be in poverty. |
