Alumni Program & Youth Advisory Board
After completing the PPP program, our participants gave us feedback that they wanted continued programming to continue their journeys as restorative-based social change agents. Therefore, we launched ICM's Alumni Program and Youth Advisory Board (YAB) so that past participants can provide insights, feedback, and guidance to the organizational leadership team, particularly in matters related to youth and young adults. This is a vital bridge between ICM and people who can benefit from our programs. Our alumni have helped to expand ICM’s mission by supporting Ms. Jackson with successfully carrying out programs, activities, and events. To date, they have facilitated weekly PPP workshops, led recruiting and outreach efforts, hosted NYC Summer Open Streets, organized participant and volunteer recruiting efforts, led youth cohorts’ grassroots organizing and advocacy, conducted research, and facilitated restorative justice healing circles.
