The Center for Juvenile Justice Training and Research is excited to announce a unique training opportunity with the featured speaker from the Youth Awards Program during the 2014 Pennsylvania Conference on Juvenile Justice, Jason Marque Sole.

 

Jason will lead a panel discussion, in addition to other interactive activities and information sharing, on issues affecting law enforcement officials, probation/parole officers, and other criminal justice professionals of various backgrounds. Participants will also understand the dynamics of effective communication and understand the stereotypes and barriers that impede effective communication between people from different backgrounds and life experiences.
