Abstract
A university held an event that focused on local community activism. One dialogue covered assistance programs for juveniles who are incarcerated or paroled. A local juvenile detention center leader approached a philosophy graduate student at the university, and plans for a philosophy-focused learning support pilot for juveniles began. We, as members of the philosophy department and in conjunction with the juvenile detention center, developed and led the pilot with a goal of (a) reducing recidivism and (b) increasing program completion and college interest.
