Meet Theresa, a member of the Center for Court Innovation's Youth Justice Board, a leadership and civic engagement program in New York City. Each year, the Youth Justice Board brings together a group of teens to investigate an issue that deeply affects young people and develop policy proposals based on their research. This year, the Youth Justice Board is working to help youth in foster care understand their cases and ensure that their voices are heard in the Family Court system.
