US Alumni Share the Power of Mentorship
At our 10th Annual Gala: Be Unusual on May 8th 2018 we celebrated the power of mentorship. That evening, we were fortunate to have two of our alumni share their personal stories of the impact The Unusual Suspects has had on their lives.

“Jim Crow Juvenile Justice”
We frequently share articles and videos that explore how our work connects to the world around us. This short video from Youth First Initiative is a powerful reminder of our nation’s racial history and how much work remains in the fight for racial and juvenile justice.
The Unusual Suspects is proud to be on the front lines by serving incarcerated youth while engaging in the movement to end juvenile incarceration. We believe it is crucial to understand our history to create the world we want to see, and so we hope you will take a moment to watch and learn.
Straight from the Suspects: Their Creative Process
The best way to understand what makes The Unusual Suspects programs so powerful is to join the audience for a performance. And the next best way is to watch this short video of our students explaining how they wrote their plays!
The Unusual Suspects brought in-depth theatre workshops to over 1200 middle and high school students in 2017! With generous support from people like you, vulnerable youth developed self-confidence, formed essential support networks and gained the tools to express themselves to the world.
Thank you!!
