Why You Should Support Confluence Rising: Our Youth Leaders
For 60 years, Confluence Rising (formerly the California Conference for Equality and Justice or CCEJ) has been building a world where people live free of oppression and thrive. Our mission is to educate and empower youth and adults to lead change for equity and justice in our communities.
We believe that everyone has a role to play in transforming our schools, workplaces and communities to be more just and equitable. We provide experiential, interactive training and coaching on inclusion, equity and Restorative Justice for more than 3,000 adults annually. Each year, we support more than 1,000 youth and young adults to develop self-awareness and leadership skills through programs such as Building Bridges Camp (a descendant of NCCJ’s Brotherhood Sisterhood Camp), Conscious Classrooms, and Restorative Youth Diversion.
We are based in Long Beach and serve communities all across Southern California, including the Counties of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside and San Diego. We travel to serve partners outside of our immediate region, and offer many services online.
