Pro Se: Empowering Justice-Involved Youth and Young Adults with Disabilities through Speech and Debate Training

In summer 2021, Matthew Saleh piloted Pro Se: Empowering Justice-Involved Youth and Young Adults with Disabilities through Speech and Debate Training. Now, as an Engaged Faculty Fellow, Saleh is further developing and scaling the program, which provides mentorship and education to youth and young adults who have been involved in the criminal-legal system or in foster care, child services or similar services. The program aims to offer essential two-way community-engaged learning opportunities, both for participants and for future legal professionals from Cornell who can drive juvenile justice innovation and reform from within.

“By participating in the Engaged Faculty Fellowship Program, my hope is to be able to expand my connections with other Cornell faculty, to gain insight into practices, implementation, evaluation and scaling up projects that involve Cornell students.” —Matthew Saleh
