The Center for Juvenile Justice Reform (CJJR), in partnership with the Annie E. Casey Foundation and the CSG Justice Center, has just released an RFA for the 2019 Transforming Juvenile Probation Certificate Program. 

As part of the package, participant teams will attend a weeklong Certificate Program that will run from November 4-8, 2019 at Georgetown University. The modules will be led by researchers, policymakers, and practitioners, and the curriculum will focus on foundational principles to transform probation culture and practice, including: applying an equity lens; youth, family, and community engagement; diversion and disposition decisions; the role of the probation officer; and leading transformational change.

Teams will receive both on-site and distance technical assistance to develop new policies and practices; identify and advance best practice implementation strategies; train staff and stakeholders to promote buy-in and collaboration; and assess, evaluate, and sustain progress by developing and implementing a Capstone Project to advance system-wide improvements in their jurisdiction. Upon approval of a Capstone Project, participants will receive an Executive Certificate from Georgetown University and join CJJR’s Network of over 1,200 Fellows.

Applications are due by Friday, July 26, 2019. Apply now!
