Janet Reno Forums
The forums convene leadership experts, policymakers, researchers, practitioners, and advocates to discuss promising practices, new research, and policy reform proposals in the realms of juvenile justice, child welfare, and child and youth development. Each forum will be preceded by the development of a white paper, commissioned for the forum and developed by experts in the field. The paper will be presented at the forum to help frame the discussion.
Announcing the 2025 Janet Reno Forum!
We are thrilled to announce that Thursday, April 24th will mark the return of our in-person Janet Reno Forum! The Forum will bring together communities, partners, and leaders for conversations around urgent topics in youth justice, and how best to drive system transformation forward, together. Our goal is not to present a series of slide decks, but to encourage real talk about issues facing youth-serving systems, communities, and the youth themselves.
Registration is now open! Learn more about the Forum on its dedicated page.
