Director, Grant and Contract Administration
Seattle, United States | Posted on 10/15/2024
We exist to eliminate the need for the criminal legal system for youth and young adults. To do this, we create alternatives to incarceration for youth and young adults based on committed relationships centered on love,compassion, and consistency. We use community to heal community, planting seeds of hope, self-respect, and vision to unlock the promise of our youth while fighting to dismantle the systems of oppression that threaten to take that promise away.
Why We Matter
Over the last 20 years, we have seen a sharp decline in the number of young people in detention across King County. But even as the overall number decreased, our juvenile legal system has had an increasingly and disproportionately harmful impact on youth of color, particularly Black youth. While only 10% of King County’s 2 million residents are Black, they now make up almost half of the detention population on any given day and more than half of felony offenses.
In the last three years, Community Passageways has worked with nearly 200 young people with felony charges with the aim of diverting their charges and keeping them in the community. In the end, most of them spent no time in detention and the average young person saw an 80% reduction in their length of sentence. The young people kept in the community through their dedication and our support have gone on to enroll in college, start businesses, graduate from high school, and help rebuild our communities.
Who We Are
We are a family born from the community we serve. The lived experiences of staff prepare them to act as credible messengers and Ambassadors. Our Ambassadors work with heart, humility, andcompassionto lead community and school-based healing circles, individual and family case management, courtadvocacy, and youthleadership opportunities.
