Sheraton Hotel Seattle
7:00 - 8:45 a.m.
Join the Center for Children & Youth Justice and more than 400 community, business and philanthropic leaders to show your support for Washington's most vulnerable youth - those in the foster care and juvenile justice systems. At this inspirational event, CCYJ will honor a community member with the Norm Maleng Advocate for Youth Award named in honor of the late King County Prosecuting Attorney, a tireless supporter of issues affecting children and families.
Our 2012 honoree is Seattle Seahawks Head Coach Pete Carroll. Coach Carroll launched A Better Seattle in 2011 to combat youth and gang violence in our community. Partnering with the YMCA and the Seattle Youth Violence Prevention Initiative, A Better Seattle - also supported by Microsoft's Steve Ballmer - promotes and funds efforts to deploy former street youth as outreach workers to intervene directly with vulnerable young people. The goal is to help youth avoid gangs or get out safely if they are already involved. The local effort builds upon the success of A Better L.A. Foundation, which Coach Carroll founded when he was coaching at USC.
