Incorporated in 1979, Avenues for Justice (then known as the Andrew Glover Youth Program) was one of the first alternatives to incarceration (ATI) programs for youth in the country. AFJ helped to facilitate the creation of Manhattan’s Supreme Court Youth Part where youth are prosecuted and tried separately from adults---a model now used nationwide. Since our modest start in the Lower East Side, Av¬enues for Justice’s (AFJ) goal has been to keep youth and young adults out of prison through a three-fold mission to: 1. Intervene to divert and reclaim young people from lives of crime. 2. Provide an overloaded court system a reliable alternative to incarceration. 3. Make New York City a safer place for everyone.
