RJJ 4.0 Kick Off

On Tuesday, August 25th the national application process for the Reimagining Juvenile Justice (RJJ) 4.0 Training Institute kicked off with an informational webinar sponsored by the Annie E. Casey Foundation and hosted by the School & Main Institute (SMI) in collaboration with the Pretrial Justice Institute (PJI).

The RJJ initiative aims to help youth justice professionals and system partners move from a historically punitive youth justice framework towards one that effectively addresses the multifaceted needs of young people and their families, helping them minimize or avoid system-involvement.  

The next RJJ Training Institute will be offered virtually this October 2020 through a series of online facilitated training sessions.  This unique professional development opportunity  is open to sites from across the country seeking to improve their youth outcomes by providing alternatives to system involvement and incarceration, instilling a positive youth development mindset and increasing cross-system collaboration. 

We anticipate selecting up to 20 sites who commit a team of 2-3 trainers to participate in the institute. Selected training teams  will participate in approximately 20 hours of  instruction which will be supported by one-on-one coaching and connection to a peer network of experienced trainers.
