Returning Youth Month

May 4th - June 4th

This annual observance begins on Dr. Khanna’s birthday in honor of his dedication as an advocate for post-incarcerated young adults. Returning Youth Month was proclaimed by the National Calendar Day organization in 2021.

This year, 2024, starting on May 4th, the Returning Youth Initiative will be highlighting young adults across the nation who have shared their story with us about the struggles they endured growing up and how they created the success they have today. A new individual(s) will be highlighted each week starting on May 4th, up until June 4th.
