She founded Youth Ministries for Peace and Justice (YMPJ) in 1994 with the mission to prepare young people to become prophetic voices for peace and justice. Faith is a central component of YMPJ’s work. Torres-Fleming and members of the organization encourage young people to believe that a desire to promote justice and healthy community growth is at the core of an individual’s belief, and that faith gives people the will and the courage to stand up and do something.
