Partnering with us to make a social impact
Center for Effective Public Policy
We are working to build a world where justice ensures strong, healthy communities for everyone. To accomplish this, we partner with teams from local, state, and tribal jurisdictions to improve their systems of justice and advance community well-being. We support teams that include diverse perspectives and voices, share our expertise and experience, promote research-informed and emerging promising practices, and facilitate equitable, systemic, and sustainable change.
Together with the CEPP, the Downtown Social is collaborating with the Opportunity Scholars project.
Opportunity Scholars is an initiative that supports people with lived experience in the carceral system to grow personally, professionally, and academically through access to higher education and fulfilling careers. The Mellon Foundation funds the Opportunity Scholars project.
