Coalition for Juvenile Justice (CJJ): 2024 Annual Conference

PLEASE NOTE: For any inquiries or interest in this event, please contact the Coalition for Juvenile Justice directly.

The Coalition for Juvenile Justice (CJJ) is a nationwide coalition of State Advisory Groups (SAGs) and allies dedicated to preventing children and youth from becoming involved in the courts and upholding the highest standards of care when youth are charged with wrongdoing and enter the justice system.

Each year, the CJJ hosts a national conference focused on improving juvenile justice and delinquency prevention systems, services, practices, and policies. Last year, more than 500 juvenile justice practitioners and advocates from across the U.S. and its territories joined together for this event. The theme for the 2024 conference is "CJJ's 40th Anniversary: Engaging Youth to Turn Passion into Policy." The conference will focus on the latest research, developments, and challenges facing our field today. Other areas of focus include:

• How, as partners, do we reshape and ensure passage of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act?

• How do we authentically engage youth and families with lived experiences and elevate their voices (i.e. in system transformation and SAG engagement)? 

• How can we restructure current policies and practices to ensure young people receive appropriate services and supports? 

• How can systems collaborate with one another to more holistically address young people's needs? 

• How can we provide trauma-responsive care for children and youth?
