MORE THAN A PROGRAM.

A MOVEMENT THAT MEETS YOUTH WHERE THEY ARE

GET INVOLVED

mission & vission

Modern Abolition was born from a simple conviction: How could I not do something? What began in 2011 after a life-altering trip to Cambodia has grown into a movement using art, design, and mentorship to interrupt cycles of injustice and equip the next generation. Through programs like The Pupil Project, YDF Rise Up Camp, and the chaplaincy program inside the juvenile detention center, we walk with at-risk and incarcerated youth—developing their confidence, character, and creative skills for real-world impact. Today, we’re committed to transformation over profit, purpose over performance—training future leaders to rise above their past and rebuild what was broken.
