CJJR is excited to co-sponsor the 2016 Coalition for Juvenile Justice National DMC Conference which will focus on “Confronting the Crisis: Creating Pathways to a More Equitable Juvenile Justice System.” The conference will take place on Dec. 4-6, 2016 in Baltimore, MD, and early registration ends on Oct. 11th. Sponsorship is part of CJJR’s commitment to assisting leaders within juvenile justice, child welfare and other youth-serving systems to create fair and equitable practices and approaches for all youth.
