In the Lead 180 is an innovative leadership and character-building program for young people involved in the justice system who show leadership potential. In the Lead 180 reaches young people in our province who are struggling to use their natural leadership ability in beneficial ways or believe in their potential. Where others might see deficits and risk, we see strengths and possibility. Our strength-based, leadership curriculum encourages young people to transform their views of themselves, their communities and their futures.
In the Lead 180 is now accepting referrals from provincial agencies, such as Law Enforcement and Youth Justice Committees, for our online programming.
ITL 180 is a weekly online class and cycles through 6 weeks of curriculum. Referrals are accepted anytime. Young people do not need to wait until Class 1 to participate, and our classes are designed to welcome and include new referrals each week.

With respect, gratitude, and accountability, Calgary Youth Justice Society acknowledges the traditional lands of the Blackfoot Confederacy which includes the Siksika, Kainai, Piikani Nations, the Îyârhe Nakoda Nation, Tsuut’ina Nation, the Métis Nation of Alberta, Districts 5 & 6, and we honour all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.
We see and celebrate the many strengths of Indigenous people and commit to reflect upon and change our ways of knowing, being, and doing so that we can truly work towards reconciliation in a meaningful way.
