S.T.A.M.P. was established in 2005 in response to the frequency with which young people are referred to juvenile and adult court systems by schools, parents, service providers, and other community stakeholders. S.T.A.M.P. challenges pollution, criminalization, exploitation, and incarceration by encouraging self-respect, empowerment, leadership, and self-determination among young people, adults, and families most affected by criminal justice and environmental policies which disregard individual needs, erode community assets, and undermine planet security.
