Join us at the 2nd Michigan Joint Juvenile Justice Conference at Shanty Creek in Bellaire, MI. This educational conference is being presented by the Juvenile Justice Association of Michigan (JJAM), the Michigan Family Court Administrators (MAFCA), the Michigan Juvenile Detention Association (MJDA), and the Northern Michigan Juvenile Officers Association (NMJOA).
The National Symposium on Juvenile Services is a unique forum that brings together field expertise across the continuum of care. Administrators, frontline professionals, clinicians, probation officers, advocates, educators, trainers, community supports, all coming to one location in the spirit of collaboration and professional development. The Symposium offers an irreplaceable opportunity to network and share innovative program services as well as real-life solutions to common barriers experienced across the nation (and sometimes beyond).
Each October, YJAM brings together advocates, policymakers, practitioners, and—most importantly—youth, to advance a vision that all children, youth, and families have opportunities to live safe, fulfilling lives in their communities. For years, CJJ has proudly played a leading role in organizing and participating in YJAM initiatives. From policy briefings and public education campaigns to storytelling projects led by directly impacted young people, we strive to ensure that youth voices are at the forefront.
