Discovering Justice is excited to launch a 25th Anniversary campaign. The organization was incorporated in 2001 to work alongside the Commonwealth’s legal community and engage thousands of students through its in-school, out-of-school, and courthouse programs. Today, we continue to envision and work towards a future where everyone in our community is well-equipped with the knowledge, skills, and desire to build and sustain an equitable democracy.

As we celebrate 25 years of impact, we are looking to reignite the same energy that fueled our founding, and raise $1.75M to ensure our continued capacity to provide high-quality civic education for years to come.

Throughout the year, Discovering Justice will be hosting events, digital fundraisers, and other opportunities for engagement, culminating with our annual Gala. Through these efforts, we are strengthening our capacity to ensure students, teachers, and the broader community continue to have high-quality civic education opportunities.

Now, in a time of polarized public discourse, decreased electoral engagement among young adults, and newly-identified civics education gaps, our work is all the more essential: we are pursuing a democracy where all individuals have the skills and knowledge to meaningfully engage. For our democracy to function, we need engaged and informed citizens – and we know it’s not enough to start that work in 8th grade. We provide students in grades K-12 opportunities to learn and practice their advocacy skills.

Every gift honors the legacy of this work and will fuel a future where students across Massachusetts continue to have opportunities for deep learning about our justice system. Your involvement today will give you a seat at the table as we shape our vision for the next 25 years.
