NC4YC Partners with Georgetown's Center for Juvenile Justice Reform on Youth in Custody Certificate Program.
Applications are now available for an exciting professional development opportunity for leaders in the juvenile justice field! NC4YC has partnered with the Center for Juvenile Justice Reform (CJJR) at the Georgetown Public Policy Institute, along with the Missouri Department of Social Services' Division of Youth Services and the Council of State Governments Justice Center, to develop the Youth in Custody Certificate Program.
The Youth in Custody Certificate Program offers leaders the opportunity to develop capacity, effectuate change, and sustain and build on system improvements over time. Specifically, this program shines a brighter light on serving the high-risk juvenile offender population with an emphasis on youth in post-adjudication custody. Modules in the training curriculum include:
- Culture Change and Leadership;
- Family and Youth Engagement;
- Assessment;
- Treatment, Services, and Reentry; and
- Expert Panel of Leaders (Providing Real-Life Examples of Reform).
The program takes place August 19-23, 2013 in Washington, D.C. Applications are due April 23, 2013. While individuals may apply, applicants are encouraged to apply in teams to increase their ability to implement reforms to the system upon completion of the program. More information about the program, including the application, selection criteria, and information on tuition subsidies, can be found at: Youth in Custody
The CJJR Certificate Programs are periods of intensive study that utilize a multi-systems and multi-disciplinary approach in focusing on policies, programs and practices that improve outcomes for youth. Information on other CJJR training programs, including the Multi-System Integration Certificate Program and the Reducing Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Juvenile Justice Certificate Program, is available online at: CJJR.

OJJDP Welcomes Administrator Robert Listenbee, Jr. 
On March 25, 2013, Robert L. Listenbee, Jr., JD assumed the role of Administrator of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. Mr. Listenbee, a graduate of Harvard University and the Boalt Hall School of Law at the University of California, Berkeley, is a highly respected public defender and juvenile justice system reformer.
Mr. Listenbee served on several committees, including the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Committee of the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, which advises the governor on juvenile justice policy.
In 2011, Mr. Listenbee was appointed to the Federal Advisory Committee on Juvenile Justice, which advises the President, Congress, and the OJJDP Administrator on juvenile justice policy. As co-chair of the Attorney General's National Task Force on Children Exposed to Violence, Mr. Listenbee was instrumental in the development of recently released recommendations for a national response to address children's exposure to violence.
Before joining OJJDP, Mr. Listenbee was a trial lawyer at the Defender Association of Philadelphia for 27 years and chief of the Juvenile Unit for 16 years. In 2011, the MacArthur Foundation's Models for Change initiative honored Mr. Listenbee with a Champion for Change award for his contributions to juvenile justice reform in Pennsylvania.
