For more information about CLEO, visit cleo.on.ca and yourlegalrights.on.ca CLEO Shared Steps project team Justice education goes beyond providing young people with information about rights and legal procedures; it creates opportunities to have open and honest conversations with people who work within the legal system and builds basic skills to manage the legal aspects of everyday problems. At OJEN/ ROEJ we build young people's legal capability so that they can recognize when an issue has a legal dimension, know how and where to ask for help and have the confidence to take action. Thousands of justice sector professionals volunteer each year in OJEN/ROEJ justice education programs, delivering experiential learning activities such as mock hearings and youth-police dialogues in classrooms and community centres. Our outreach activities extend into Aboriginal, Francophone, newcomer and high-risk communities across the province of Ontario. Each year over 200,000 youth are impacted by these programs. OJEN/ROEJ is a proud member of the Flip Your Wig collective, welcoming the opportunity to partner with our Access to Justice allies. By supporting the Flip Your Wig campaign, you will help OJEN/ROEJ expand our programs to a wider youth audience and prepare a new generation of legally capable individuals.
