West Coast Credible Messengers will host an interactive workshop focused on transformative mentoring and community healing. Through storytelling, dialogue, and artistic expression, we will engage attendees in a conversation about the power of lived experience, credible leadership, and the role of justice-involved individuals in creating systemic change.

West Coast Credible Messengers is a network of formerly incarcerated leaders, mentors, and advocates committed to breaking cycles of violence and incarceration through transformative mentoring. Rooted in lived experience and community-based leadership, our work empowers justice-involved individuals to reclaim their narratives and become agents of change. Through mentorship, advocacy, and creative expression, we foster healing and social justice in impacted communities. Our programs center on youth engagement, restorative justice, and leadership development, creating pathways to success beyond the criminal legal system. At Justice + Art Jam, we bring our passion for change to the stage, using art and dialogue to spark deeper conversations about justice, healing, and the power of credible messengers in shaping a more just world.
