End School to Prison Pipeline

Lead. Advocate. Be the Change.

Empowering Youth. Creating Opportunities. Building Stronger Communities.

The Athens Anti-Discrimination Movement (AADM) has revamped our End the School-to-Prison Pipeline (ESTPP) Program to focus on three key areas: youth community service and leadership, educational workshops, and our annual ESTPP Summit. This initiative is for Middle and High School students.

Our renewed approach emphasizes direct community engagement, positive youth development, and practical solutions that help keep young people in school, out of the justice system, and on pathways to success.

Youth Community Service & Leadership

We provide meaningful community service and leadership opportunities for young people, including juveniles impacted by school disciplinary systems or the justice system. Through supervised projects, youth develop responsibility, confidence, teamwork, and stronger community connections.

Educational Workshops & Training

We offer interactive workshops for youth, parents, educators, and community advocates focused on youth leadership, conflict resolution, student rights, educational equity, restorative practices, and alternatives to punitive discipline.

Annual ESTPP Summit

Our annual summit brings together youth, families, educators, justice professionals, and community leaders to address the school-to-prison pipeline, share resources, strengthen partnerships, and identify solutions that support student success.

GET INVOLVED

We invite volunteers, educators, mentors, community organizations, and sponsors to join us in creating opportunities for young people to learn, grow, and succeed.

Our goal is simple: Keep youth engaged, empowered, and connected to opportunities—not pushed into the justice system.
