Youth Justice Leadership Institute Seeks Applicants for 2011 - 2012 Program Year
The National Juvenile Justice Network seeks applicants for the pilot year of its Youth Justice Leadership Institute. The Institute's mission is to create the foundation for a more effective juvenile justice reform movement by developing a strong base of well prepared and well trained advocates and organizers who reflect the communities most affected by juvenile justice system practices and policies. The Institute’s inaugural year will focus on cultivating and supporting professionals of color. The Institute is a robust, year long program that includes leadership development, training in juvenile justice system policies and practices, and advocacy skills development. The Institute will bring fellows together twice during the year, attach each fellow to a mentor and envelope fellows within the larger juvenile justice reform community. If you are a professional of color and are interested in applying for the Institute, please visit our web site to download our application packet or contact the Institute's Coordinator, Diana Onley-Campbell, at diana@juvjustice.org. Applications are due on April 26, 2011.
