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.
