Restore: Creating Rehabilitative Spaces for Youth Previously Involved in the Justice System

Previously incarcerated youth suffer from a lack of re-entry services available to them. My thesis proposes a space in which a variety of services are offered to youth who have recently been released from the justice system. These services will focus on rehabilitation, transitioning back into normal life and reducing the chance of re-offending, while fostering a sense of community.
