Keeping Kids out of the "Social Landfill"

Looking for some inspiration on working with youth in the juvenile justice system?  Check out "All Walks of Life," a strengths-based program that works with youth in Savannah Georgia (many referred from the juvenile court):
 

 
All Walks of Life features four programs. The first three are theatre arts, film and photography, sound design and music recording. The third, "The Goon Squad," has teens learn how to recycle and refurbish computers to (a) reduce e-waste, (b) give low-income families free computers, and (c) in the director's words, keep the kids themselves out of "the social landfill." 
But you can learn all that much better from the video above, which tells you everything you need to know in exactly one minute.
