Empower Your Leadership Team
The executive leadership team of a youth justice agency plays a critical role in shaping the organization’s vision, goals and operations. By investing in transformational leadership development, youth justice agencies can empower their executive teams to create supportive and inclusive organizational cultures that engage staff at all levels.
Learn more about our new initiative, in collaboration with JusticePath Advisors and CJJA, below! The program is specifically created to equip executive leadership teams in youth justice agencies with the knowledge, skills, and network necessary to foster supportive organizational cultures and improve system effectiveness. Through intensive training, personalized coaching, and peer learning, participants will build their strategic leadership capabilities and learn to lead with vision and purpose in an evolving system.
Session Spotlight: Defining Transformational Leadership in Youth Justice Agencies
Strong, visionary leadership is essential for driving meaningful change in youth justice agencies, especially in times of transition and reform. Executive leaders must inspire their teams, foster a culture of collaboration, and create a shared vision that empowers staff at all levels.
In this session, Clint Lacey, President and CEO of the Credible Messenger Mentoring Movement (CM3), will facilitate discussions around the core principles of transformational leadership and how they apply to youth justice agencies. The conversations will focus on strategies to build an organizational culture that supports innovation, staff development, and sustainable system improvements. Participants will leave with actionable insights to strengthen their leadership approach and drive lasting change within their agencies.
