The JRAP represents youth (with a focus on girls) who are in the delinquency system, comprehensively across systems, and until they reach majority.  JRAP representation uses the legal system to access social and community services and hold systems accountable, reducing the use of incarceration and supporting girls in their communities.  In addition to individual representation, the JRAP is involved in ongoing research and policy advocacy aimed at reducing incarceration and supporting youth in their communities
