Choose 180 began in 2011 as a community-centered effort in partnership with the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office to impact disproportionality, keep youth our of the juvenile justice system and break the school-to-prison pipeline.

Choose 180 serves as an emergency room for young people in crisis. We help identify what’s wrong, the behaviors that keep them stuck, and the path toward positive change.

Choose 180 has an emphasis on serving youth and young adults who are engaged in activities that if gone ignored would likely result in escalating negative behavior and substantial lifelong consequences.
