When the Center was formed in 2007, two certificate programs were designed, one for individuals and one for teams from public agencies. In 2008, both the Certificate Program for Individuals and Certificate Program for Teams were held. The two programs used the same curriculum, except that the individual program required participants to complete a Capstone Project independently, while the team program required participants to undertake small tests of change as a team through a year long Breakthrough Series Collaborative. The Certificate Program for Individuals was again held in 2009, but the Certificate Program for Teams was not held in 2009. Since there is no longer a team program, there is no reason to distinguish between individuals and teams, so the name of the program was changed to the Certificate Program for Public Sector Leaders. The content and structure of the course was the same as the Certificate Program for Individuals and Teams courses in 2008 and 2009.

CJJR launched its work in this area by engaging public sector leaders, believing that this work needed to be understood and supported by public sector leaders due to their control over policy and funding in most jurisdictions. While CJJR has marketed the Certificate Programs to public agencies, we have consistently received inquiries from private sector leaders about the possibility of their participation in the program. After two years of successful program implementation, CJJR decided to expand the Certificate Program to the private sector, with a program dedicated to their participation. As a result, the first Certificate Program for Private Sector Leaders was held in October 2010. Since that time, we have combined the Certificate Program for Public Sector Leaders and the Certificate Program for Private Sector Leaders into one program for both audiences: the Multi-System Integration Certificate Program. The programs were integrated to foster better connections between the public and private sectors and to encourage cross-systems work across these domains.The curriculum remains the same--the only difference is in the program name and the more diverse audience.

No. At this time, the Center for Juvenile Justice Reform is not providing online courses for our Certificate Programs. All attendees must be present in Washington, DC at the time of instruction.

A maximum of 35 participants will be admitted into each program.

Yes, the formation of a team is highly encouraged. For each of our programs, we encourage small groups of people from the same jurisdiction/organization to apply and form a "mini team" of 2 to 7 people, however, it must be made clear in the application why it is important for each person to attend. While all applications will be reviewed on an individual basis, the value of this team approach will be considered in our review.

If the program dates overlap a weekend, sessions will be held on the weekend dates. While we regret this personal imposition, prior participants have indicated that it has made their attendance possible from a work perspective, as they are able to minimize the number of days they are away from the office.

No. The Certificate Program is only offered in Washington, DC.
