IEL's newest grant to support its Right Turn Career-Focused Transition Initiative just started working in five communities, with a particular focus on apprenticeships and pre-apprenticeships for youth involved in the juvenile or criminal justice systems.
IEL joins youth and communities across the country in celebrating National Reentry Week 2017 from April 24-28.
From October 11 - 13, IEL convened the last annual meeting of the first five sites of its Right Turn Career-Focused Transition Initiative (Right Turn).
From September 16 – 18, 2016, youth from several IEL-created programs will share positive social media messages and host community events to provide safe spaces, address recent violence, and share creative solutions to strengthen communities.
This year marked a new level of engagement for IEL at the centennial meeting of the American Educational Research Association (AERA).
