Working to improve outcomes for youth, communities, and youth-serving systems
CJI’S APPROACH TO YOUTH JUSTICE
• We create tailored plans based on the political, cultural, and organizational landscape.
• We understand what drives state and local partners.
• We help problem-solve and develop plans and solutions.
CJI’s youth justice team offers a nonpartisan, outcome-oriented approach and deep commitment to evidence-driven change. We equip policymakers, leaders, system stakeholders, and the community with skills and knowledge to improve youth justice systems.
With experience in over a dozen states, CJI understands what works for improving youth outcomes and for implementing better practices for justice system personnel.
