“The holistic approach to learning utilized by the Tow Institute inspired a deeper trust, and respect, among the leadership program participants. From revealing the psychology and development of the adolescent brain to exposing the history and disparity inherent in Connecticut’s juvenile justice system the “Transforming Youth Justice…” program identifies the need for, and your role to become, an agent of that change.”
