Councilman Joaquin Martinez highlights juvenile rights coalition and peer recovery program
The program introduced a local initiative described as a juvenile rights coalition aimed at supporting young people facing juvenile justice challenges, child welfare issues, immigration and homelessness.

The segment identified Councilman Joaquin Martinez’s district work as connected to the coalition’s goals to reduce reoffending and provide mentorship and programming. Councilman Martinez said his involvement is personal: “It means so much to me because I was a juvenile impacted by the system, and I just wanted to give back.”

Speakers described the recovery program as led by a group of young Black and Brown men who provide mentorship and proactive programming intended to prevent reoffending and help participants build futures. The broadcast framed recovery as forward‑looking rather than solely reactive to past decisions.

The segment did not specify program funding sources, formal partnerships with city agencies, eligibility criteria, or metrics for measuring outcomes.
