Five-Year Strategic Plan


For nearly 15 years, CHOOSE 180 has disrupted the criminal legal system by transforming how our region responds to young people. By 2030, we envision a region where systems no longer respond to young people with punishment, but with a pathway to possibility; a region where schools, courts, and communities work in partnership to ensure that all young people, especially those impacted by racism, poverty, and systemic harm, are seen, supported, and centered.

Goals Through 2030

Over the next five years, we commit to:

  • Investing in our people and culture with trauma-informed leadership, equitable compensation and structures for sustainability

  • Establishing a sustainable funding model to support growth and development

  • Centering youth voice in all we do—program design, advocacy, and narrative change

  • Expanding our reach into additional high-need areas

  • Driving upstream system change through more intentional partnerships with schools, courts, facilities, and community
