Junior Civic Safety Council

Do you want to make a real difference in your community? Do you have ideas about how to reduce violence in New Orleans? Join the Junior Civic Safety Council (JCSC), a youth-led group working to create safer, stronger neighborhoods. 

We believe young people know their communities best — what’s happening, what’s missing, and what needs to change. By working with the Center for Youth Equity (CYE) and the Violence Prevention Institute (VPI), JCSC members bring fresh ideas, create meaningful change, and help shape programs and policies that reflect the needs of our city.

Who Can Join?

If you’re between 12 and 24 years old and live in New Orleans, we want you on the team!
