Advising Generation Z's (AGZ) 501(c)(3) Discipline Reimagined Journey (DRJ) Initiative bridges the gap between youth leaders in education, justice systems, and behavioral health by uniting businesses, policymakers, and community partners. Through a 12-step conversion process, youth organizations become DRJ Sites, where they are trained to integrate the AdvisingGenz Platform as a proactive, reactive, and ongoing behavioral accountability system designed to drive cultural transformation for all. DRJ Sites receive hands-on support from local, national, and global collaborators dedicated to redirecting misguided youth ages 10-24. The DRJ Framework brings together all stakeholders in a region to work collaboratively toward reducing school discipline issues, lowering youth crime, protecting mental health, and closing the skills gap.

Texas Takes A Cross-Sector Approach to Reduce School Suspension and Lower Youth Crimes For 10-18-Yead-Olds
Advising Generation Z hand-selected several school districts and juvenile justice programs throughout Texas to be the first state to pilot the DRJ Framework, before serving organizations nation-wide. The image above was taken at Samsung's Executive Briefing Center in Dallas and has a combination of youth professionals and community leaders. This two-year pilot resulted in providing nearly 6,000 low-risk youth and first-time offenders and their families with wrap-around services and opportunities to see themselves as future leaders. The 2024-2025 organizations selected to pave the way for redirected misguided youth in Texas are as follows: Grayson County Juvenile Services, Denison ISD, Irving ISD, Grand Prairie ISD, Fort Worth Municipal Court, Crowley ISD, Dallas County Municipal Court, Duncanville ISD, DeSoto ISD, Collin County JJAEP, Chapel Hill ISD, Texarkana ISD, Lufkin ISD, Longview ISD, Wichita Falls ISD and Sherman ISD.
