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.
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. The goals of SHORTSTOP are twofold:
To improve the lives of youth and guide them towards productive citizenship by providing legal education, strengthening parenting skills, improving family communication and emphasizing the importance of education
To keep youth from becoming repeat offenders by holding them accountable for their behavior and providing them with information that will assist them in thinking about the consequences of their actions, thus leading them to make better choices.
