Banner with the title of the Certificate Program, declaring Now Accepting Applications

Inequities in the youth legal system, when unaddressed, perpetuate cycles that span generations, potentially hindering the progress and well-being of entire communities. It’s crucial to implement targeted strategies that enhance community development and create lasting positive change in order to disrupt these cycles.

The Advancing Racial Justice and Equity in Youth Legal Systems Certificate Program is an intensive professional development opportunity designed to support state and local jurisdictions in their efforts to reduce racial and ethnic inequities in their systems of care, particularly the youth legal system. The program is hosted by the Center for Juvenile Justice Reform (CJJR) at Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy and builds upon the successful Reducing Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Juvenile Justice Certificate Program previously offered by the Center.

If you are interested in undertaking this work and applying for the program, there’s still time! If you don’t have your application materials completed, and still have questions, we encourage you to reach out to Amber Farn, Deputy Director for Certificate Programs.
