Futures in Justice (previously named Braiding Diversity into Justice) and other OJEN career modelling programs help young people of all backgrounds \u201csee themselves in law\u201d by introducing them to legal professionals with whom they share similar experiences. The goal of these programs is to show that there is a place for everyone in the legal profession.<\/p>\n<p>This program began as an initiative of the <a href=\"\/en\/committee\/waterloo\">Waterloo OJEN Committee<\/a> in 2018. It was designed as a single-day, in-person event, however it can be modified for remote delivery and the time can be adjusted as required. In the Waterloo context, registration has historically been open to youth who identify as women between the ages of 16 and 20 who are interested in pursuing a career in justice. The program can be adapted for any audience depending on the needs and interests of youth in your community.<\/p>\n<p>If you are not a part of a Local OJEN Committee, email regions@ojen.ca, and OJEN will connect you to the OJEN Committee in your area. If you are part of an OJEN Committee and have any other questions about the program, email info@ojen.ca.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Braiding Diversity into Justice Trailer<\/h2>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XLRzERNwHQg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Programs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-tco2025-blocks-card-list-block image-preview-list\"><li class=\"image-preview js-flipped-card\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"image-preview__inner\"><div class=\"image-preview__wrapper\"><p class=\"image-preview__text\">Waterloo<\/p><\/div><div class=\"image-preview__back\"><div class=\"image-preview__back-inner js-flipped-card-content\"><h2 class=\"image-preview__back-heading\">Braiding Diversity Waterloo Region<\/h2><p class=\"image-preview__back-text\"><\/p><a class=\"image-preview__back-button button button--primary\" href=\"https:\/\/ojen.ca\/en\/program\/braiding-diversity-waterloo\">Learn more<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li><li class=\"image-preview js-flipped-card\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"image-preview__inner\"><div class=\"image-preview__wrapper\"><p class=\"image-preview__text\">Durham<\/p><\/div><div class=\"image-preview__back\"><div class=\"image-preview__back-inner js-flipped-card-content\"><h2 class=\"image-preview__back-heading\">Braiding Diversity &#8211;
