Youth Justice Coalition
The Youth Justice Coalition (YJC) is a network of youth workers, children’s lawyers, policy workers and academics who work to promote the rights of children and young people in NSW and across Australia. The general aims of the YJC are:
	To promote the rights of children and young people, including their rights under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and other international human rights instruments;
	To promote appropriate and effective initiatives and responses in juvenile justice, child welfare and other areas of law affecting children and young people;
	To ensure that children’s and young people’s views, interests and rights are taken into account in law reform and policy debate.
At present the YJC is seeking students who are interested in research and policy development in matters relating to young people. The YJC meets every third Wednesday of the month at 3pm at Marrickville Legal Centre. If you are interested please email the YJC convenor Katrina Wong.
