Join us in
Washington, D.C., July 17-19 for
NJJN's 2017 Forum. Our annual event brings advocates together for youth justice reform training, networking, strategy-sharing -- and fun!
Forum will gather our juvenile justice reform community for workshops, plenaries and sessions focused on enabling all of us to achieve real change in our youth justice systems. We will focus intently on racial justice and placing those directly impacted by the system at the forefront of the movement.
