2016 CJJ Youth Summit
August 2-3, 2016
Georgetown University Hotel and Conference Center
Washington, DC
The Coalition for Juvenile Justice and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) will co-host the 2016 Juvenile Justice Youth Summit, "Agents of Change: Rethinking, Reshaping, and Reforming the Juvenile Justice System" on August 2-3 in Washington, DC. The event brings together emerging leaders (under the age of 25) interested in juvenile justice reform. Over two days, these next generation leaders gain a better understanding of the current juvenile justice system, examine trending reform topics, and participate in various skill-building, hands-on activities.
