Word from the Director

Christina Quaranta

To our valued reader,

Thank you for your interest in CTJA and the important work that we do, I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to you on behalf of the Connecticut Justice Alliance. As the Executive Director, it gives me great pleasure to introduce you to our organization and share our mission of ending the criminalization of youth in Connecticut.

The Connecticut Justice Alliance is a nonprofit organization dedicated to: ensuring that young people are in positions of power, not prison; young people have their needs met within their communities (#InvestInMeCT); and that root causes of youth crime are addressed- to name a few pieces of our work.

Our team is composed of passionate and committed individuals, who are credible messengers, that work tirelessly to ensure that the voices of those impacted by the legal system are heard and represented.

We are grateful for your support, which enables us to continue our work towards our shared goal of a more just and equitable Connecticut for all. Your contribution will help us achieve our mission, and we are honored to have you join us in this important work.

Thank you for your generosity and commitment to the young people of Connecticut. We look forward to keeping you updated on our progress and continuing to work together towards a better future for all where communities can experience: healing, trust, economic security, equitable housing, hope, and equal opportunities.

Sincerely, Christina
