CJCA and PbS Li 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, PbS is the result of professional leadership, practitioner feedback and expert advice – and more than a decade of practice in facilities across the country.

In 2004, the Council for Educators of At-Risk and Delinquent Youth (CEARDY), the Juvenile Justice Trainers Association (JJTA), the National Association for Juvenile Correctional Agencies (NAJCA), and the National Juvenile Detention Association (NJDA) merged their respective membership organizations under one operational structure. Building on years of experience, knowledge, and skill, this union allows the individual organizations to focus on their respective mission and discipline while minimizing duplication, maximizing limited resources, and ensuring sustainability.
