Our Mission
The Long Beach Bar Foundation is
a non-profit 501 (C) (3) charitable organization dedicated to
strengthen the youth of the greater Long Beach community through
juvenile crime prevention and diversion, scholarships, legal
education and other charitable programs.
About the
Long Beach Bar Foundation
Since its inception in 1994, the
Long Beach Bar Foundation has operated the highly successful
SHORTSTOP Program, which diverts non-violent juvenile offenders
ages 10-17 away from the juvenile justice system through legal
education for juveniles and their parents. More

think the SHORTSTOP Program is a great second chance to help
kids out, as well as helping them realize the bad things they
have done and also giving them a heads-up on what they are asking
for when they break the law. What made me think a lot was the
huge booklet we have to read for our first assignment. That really
opened my eyes. A suggestion I have for the program is donate
an informational booklet to the schools and see their reaction.
Maybe this will reduce the number of juveniles doing bad things
out on the streets, like stealing. This really opened my eyes,
and I thank you for giving me a second chance." Miguel |
| "I
understand the [importance of] the SHORTSTOP Program. I don't
think it was bad because this program will actually make you
realize [a lot of] things. You won't think about small details
like being locked up for your mistakes--it is part of the course--but
you will think about bigger things like how much your parents
love you (that's why they are here), sitting next to you because
of you. That's one big thing you will lose, as well as losing
your family. That's the thing I liked most about SHORTSTOP. It
made me realize the importance of family. " Anthony |
