The Problem We're Solving
Australia's youth justice system is failing everyone—young people, families, and communities. The evidence is unanimous.
84.5% recidivism rate in detention systems
$1.1M per year cost per young person in detention
24x overrepresentation of Indigenous youth in detention
Disconnected programs that can't demonstrate impact
But Communities Have Solutions
Grassroots programs across Australia achieve 78% success rates at 19 times lower cost. They just need better tools to scale their impact.
1,000+ interventions catalogued and analyzed
$58,000 annual cost for community alternatives
Real transformation through mentorship and support
Cultural healing that addresses root causes
