Empower 2026
Empower 2026
Empower is not just an event. It is a movement we are building together.
Western Justice Center equips young people with practical skills to navigate conflict, repair harm and lead with empathy. This work is like preventative health care — an investment in our collective well-being that helps prevent everyday problems from becoming crises.
Join us each year to celebrate resilience, student voice and community empowerment.
For questions about Sponsorships, please contact Cristina Briskie-Wood.
Why Attend Empower
Empower brings you close to our work and the people who bring it to life.
- Hear stories about how schools move from punitive discipline to trust and belonging when young people have the tools and agency to make change.
- Beyond buzzwords, see what restorative practices look like in action.
- Celebrate leaders who model courage, collaboration and community.

Your Investment Matters
The movement depends on your support.Â
Your investment helps WJC strengthen school communities by expanding access to conflict resolution education so students feel supported, educators gain more learning time and communities begin to heal. Empower sustains our whole-school approach across Los Angeles County and beyond.Â
When you give, you are helping grow the next generation of peacebuilders.Â
