What we do who we are News & Media Supporters Careers Financials

For less than one-tenth the cost of locking kids up, FLY gets them out of the pipeline to prison and onto a brand new path.  

FLY works with youth in the juvenile justice system and those at risk of entering the system in Santa Clara, San Mateo, and Alameda Counties. Our legal education, leadership training, and mentoring programs motivate and equip youth to change the course of their lives. We are also committed to helping our juvenile justice systems become more just, humane, and equitable. As a result, FLY increases safety in our communities and decreases the costs and consequences of crime.
