The Global Innovations on Youth Violence, Safety, and Justice Program, launched in 2021 by Salzburg Global in partnership with the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation, and the David Rockefeller Fund, is a multi-year effort to tackle youth violence, promote youth safety, and advance justice reform across jurisdictions. Bringing together global stakeholders—including young adults and formerly incarcerated individuals—the Program has compiled leading research, collected in-depth case studies from diverse geographies, and identified dozens of innovative, evidence-based practices. While progress has been made, the Program recognizes that ongoing and interconnected challenges—ranging from post-pandemic mental health and education crises to racial injustice, climate change, forced migration, autocratization, and technological disruption—continue to shape the future of youth safety and justice worldwide.
