2023–24 Juvenile Justice Applied Leadership Network

The Applied Lead­er­ship Net­work (ALN), the Casey Foundation’s juve­nile jus­tice lead­er­ship pro­gram, is seek­ing teams of juve­nile jus­tice sys­tem lead­ers, com­mu­ni­ty lead­ers and oth­ers to par­tic­i­pate in a 14-month lead­er­ship devel­op­ment oppor­tu­ni­ty. This oppor­tu­ni­ty is focused on advanc­ing the skills of com­mu­ni­ty and juve­nile jus­tice prac­ti­tion­ers to build part­ner­ships and togeth­er lead jus­tice reforms and sys­tem transformation.

A Focus on Diver­sion and Prevention

For this ALN class, there is spe­cif­ic inter­est in teams that seek to estab­lish a con­tin­u­um of pre­ven­tion and diver­sion process­es to hold youth account­able for their behav­ior with­out resort­ing to legal sanc­tions, court over­sight or the threat of con­fine­ment. Instead, com­mu­ni­ties would address pre­dictable ado­les­cent mis­be­hav­ior out­side of the court sys­tem with com­mu­ni­ty-cen­tered approach­es and assets. Respons­es would include sur­round­ing youth most at risk for jus­tice sys­tem involve­ment, specif­i­cal­ly Black and Lati­no young men, with the pos­i­tive con­nec­tions and oppor­tu­ni­ties that have the high­est like­li­hood of max­i­miz­ing young people’s success.
