Be an Advocate

​

At InsideOUT Writers, we believe in the transformative power of stories—and your voice can be part of that transformation.

​

Be the Change for Youth in the Juvenile Justice System

InsideOUT Writers thrives because of passionate advocates who stand with us and champion arts-based healing and compassionate case management for young people navigating life during and after incarceration.

As an IOW Advocate, you’ll play a vital role in empowering youth through healing and reentry. Our advocates go beyond raising awareness—they connect our team with essential resources that make a lasting impact. Whether it's providing affordable housing options, mental health support, employment opportunities, or other critical services, your advocacy is an invaluable part of our community's success.

Your outreach can also elevate our work by helping expand IOW’s visibility across Southern California and beyond. From resharing our stories on social media to securing funding and recognition, your advocacy helps increase our reach and grow our network of supporters.

​

What Does Advocacy Mean to You?

There are countless ways to advocate for IOW. If you have ideas or want to learn how to get involved, please don’t hesitate to reach out. A member of our team will be thrilled to connect with you.

Create a Fundraiser for IOW

Every year, passionate individuals like you help fuel our mission by organizing fundraisers that directly benefit InsideOUT Writers. Whether you're hosting a bake sale or running a 5K, your efforts help fund arts-based healing and reentry services for Los Angeles County’s incarcerated youth—both past and present.

​

Ideas for Fundraisers:

• Host your own event—whether it’s a casual pizza night or a glamorous black-tie gala!

• Celebrate a special occasion (birthday, anniversary) by dedicating it to raising funds for IOW in lieu of gifts.

• Participate in existing fundraising events, from marathons to community sports tournaments, and raise funds on our behalf.

Whatever your event, your passion for IOW makes a difference in the lives of young people seeking a fresh start.
