The afternoon also marked Executive Director Elizabeth “Liz” Frederick’s 20th anniversary with Avenues for Justice.\u00a0During the event, the organization received a Mayoral Commendation, while Frederick was recognized by Gov. Kathy Hochul’s office for her two decades of work with young New Yorkers.<\/p>\n

Frederick joined AFJ in 2006 and became executive director in 2024. The organization said she has helped support nearly 2,000 young New Yorkers involved in the court system during her tenure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Founded in 1979, Avenues for Justice is one of the country’s first alternative-to-incarceration programs for young adults aged 13 to 24.<\/p>\n
