Juvenile Programs
Center for Improving Youth Justice (CIYJ) is an improvement program developed by the Council of Juvenile Justice Administrators (CJJA) and operated by its own independent non-profit organization. CJJA and CIYJ are dedicated exclusively to improving the conditions, services and overall operations of juvenile facilities and programs and providing technical assistance and tools that promote public safety, offender accountability and rehabilitation that prevents future crime. Specializing in the unique needs of delinquent youths and juvenile facilities, CIYJ is the result of professional leadership, practitioner feedback and expert advice – and more than a decade of practice in facilities across the country.
The Council of Juvenile Justice Administrators (CJJA) is a national non-profit organization, formed in 1994 to improve local juvenile correctional services, programs and practices so the youths within the systems succeed when they return to the community and to provide national leadership and leadership development for the individuals responsible for the systems. CJJA represents the youth correctional CEOs in 50 states, Puerto Rico and major metropolitan counties.
