The NCJFCJ's 86th Annual Conference, July 21-24, 2024, will feature amazing presentations on current and cutting edge topics that will inspire, provoke, and precipitate discussions about issues facing the juvenile and family court system.

For 87 years, the NCJFCJ has led systems to change through the values  of Compassion, Leadership, Education, and Community through our network of more than 30,000 juvenile and family court professionals who share in the mission of this organization. For this hopeful new year, continuing to make connections with intentions is more important than ever to fully serve ourselves through self-care while serving the children, families, and survivors of violence we represent.

Plenary sessions highlighted by topic-specific training tracks on family law, juvenile justice, child welfare, and family violence; as well as sessions highlighting innovative solutions and self-care are just the beginning of the educational offerings of the NCJFCJ’s 86th Annual Conference.

Organized in 1994, the Council of Juvenile Justice Administrators (CJJA) is a national non-profit organization created to improve juvenile justice systems, enhance local correctional and residential facilities and programs and, most importantly, promote better long term outcomes for youth and their families.
