After the invasion of the Reach in 2016, the Justice League's covert operations team formed of their various younger associates and sidekicks were exposed.
The Justice League utilized the good PR that this team had amassed for defending the Earth, along with their own, to reform it into what they referred to as the Young Justice League. The team of young heroes, former sidekicks, became the first team of the YJL. The League made agreements with various Earth governments, and in the end, the Young Justice League became a series of regional and city-based teams of young heroes in training who would one day graduate to become full Justice League members.
Members of the Young Justice League who were formerly independent heroes rather than being sidekicks of a Justice League member would be required to eventually give their secret identities to the League itself - and once that happened, some governments required them to inform the parents if and when possible to seek parental permission to continue being heroes. Of course, at first, there was a struggle with that clause - but eventually, it was able to be moved on from.
Ever since, the Young Justice League (whose youngest 'accepting age' is 13) has acted as an international force for good - to both train young heroes and forge them into better ones, as well as to allow for the Justice League proper to focus on global/international or even extraplanetary threats. The Young Justice League teams would handle regional or city level crime and events, usually with at least one member of the League acting as local liaison or support.
Today is January the First, and the year is 2020. The Young Justice League has been active for four years, and has had multiple (eventual) graduations into 'seniority' to become full-fledged members of the Justice League itself.
The world has changed, for the better, and this is only the beginning...

Kierra Mills, otherwise known as Insight, was a busy young woman. Currently, she was trying to coordinate her teammates and get them to gather in the Justice Tower of Los Angeles' debriefing room, because Green Lantern was trying to contact them. Sometimes, it was frustrating to do so.
To help distract herself from her troubles, Kierra began to pay attention to the harmonic colors and sounds of emotions from across the city. How melodic they were, all... well, not happy. But it was mostly positive, which helped her feel better.
Kierra looked down at the object she held in hand; a watch empowered by the Orange Light of Greed. It protected her, gave her what she wanted - whether it was an update on the time or the weather. And it also told her things she wanted to know.
With a sigh, she began yet another system-wide notification for her teammates. If only they could be as quick as the Flash...
