Transform Your Jurisdiction’s System-Wide Approach to Juvenile Probation, Reduce Recidivism, and Create Positive Outcomes for Youth and Communities

Posted in Announcements

We are pleased to announce that we are now accepting applications for the Transforming Juvenile Probation Certificate Program, with support from the Annie E. Casey Foundation. The program will be held in-person in Washington, D.C. from June 8-12, 2026. 

The goal of the Transforming Juvenile Probation Certificate Program is to guide teams from state and local jurisdictions, including probation leadership, judges, attorneys, and other stakeholders, to fundamentally transform their system-wide approach to probation. 

Following the week-long in-person program at Georgetown University, teams will receive technical assistance from CYJ and the Casey Foundation to develop and implement a Capstone Project to advance system-wide probation transformation in their jurisdiction. This specialized technical assistance will include an in-depth examination of current organizational structures and practices, establishing common system metrics with regard to probation outcomes and processes, and broadening and deepening stakeholder engagement in the effort to transform juvenile probation.

Note that due to the generous support of the Casey Foundation,  participant’s tuition for the Certificate Program and a minimum of one year of distance and on-site consultation and implementation TA are provided at no cost.

​Interested but have questions before applying? Reach out to CYJ’s Amber Farn at Amber.Farn@georgetown.edu

The application period will remain open through March 4, 2026.
