Practical, Faith-Rooted Resources for Hope in Action
Modern Abolition creates curriculum and guides designed to support those serving young people in complex, real-world environments. Our resources are shaped by lived experience—formed through years of walking alongside at-risk and justice-involved youth in detention centers, churches, camps, and community spaces.
These materials are not built for theory alone. They are practical, trauma-informed, and relational, created to help leaders bring hope into real situations with confidence, clarity, and care.
Who These Resources Are For
Our curriculum and guides are created for:
- Youth workers and mentors
- Pastors and church leaders
- Chaplains and volunteers
- Community leaders serving vulnerable youth
Whether you’re leading a group, mentoring one-on-one, teaching inside a facility, or supporting youth after release, these resources are designed to meet you where you are.
Modern Abolition resources focus on formation, not just information. Each guide is designed to support both the leader and the young person being served.
Our curriculum often includes:
Faith & Spiritual Formation
Biblically grounded lessons that connect faith to everyday life.
Trauma-Informed Practices
Approaches that recognize the impact of trauma and prioritize emotional and relational safety.
Practical Tools
Discussion prompts, reflection questions, activities, and next steps that translate easily into real-world settings.
Creative Expression
Art, writing, and creative exercises that help youth explore identity, emotion, and purpose.
Leader Support
Guidance that helps leaders serve sustainably, with wisdom and care.
How Our Resources Are Used
Our curriculum and guides are actively used in:
- Juvenile detention facilities
- Youth camps and retreats
- Churches and small groups
- Mentorship and discipleship settings
- Community-based programs
They are written with flexibility in mind—adaptable for group settings, one-on-one mentoring, or short-format use when time and access are limited.
Why It Matters
Leaders are often called to serve in challenging environments with limited preparation or support. These resources exist to help bridge that gap.
When leaders are equipped with thoughtful, faith-rooted tools, young people experience consistency, care, and hope—and that creates space for lasting change.
