In 2024, the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Act turns 50 years old. The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) is celebrating the work done to improve the youth justice system and come together around the work left to do at the 2024 OJJDP National Conference in Washington, D.C. on November 19-21, 2024. The voices of those directly impacted have and continue to be core to advancing youth justice transformation for young people, their families, and communities. With that in mind, OJJDP invites directly impacted individuals to join the conference as essential partners. CYJT is working with OJJDP to gather interest from directly impacted folks to attend the conference (alongside other justice professionals) and lend their voice as presenters or facilitators.
