Registration is closed for this event

The Coalition for Juvenile Justice (CJJ) will hold the 2016 Juvenile Justice Youth Summit, "Agents of Change: Rethinking, Reshaping, and Reforming the Juvenile Justice System" on August 2-3 in Washington, DC. The Summit, which takes place at the Georgetown University Hotel and Conference Center, brings together emerging leaders (under the age of 25) interested in juvenile justice reform. 

Over two days, these next generation leaders gain a better understanding of the current juvenile justice system, examine trending reform topics, and participate in various skill-building, hands-on activities. CJJ is committed to increasing youth participation and engagement in juvenile justice reform and advocacy. We are excited to welcome youth from across the nation and U.S. territories to participate in this annual event. 

Youth Summit Sessions
Participants will engage in content sessions on:

  • Juvenile Justice 201
  • Grassroots and Grasstops: Pathways to Advocacy
  • Reforming the System: An Insider’s Perspective
  • And more!


Click here to see the draft agenda. We will be hosting two optional activities for the afternoon of Wednesday, August 3: a briefing on Capitol Hill and free time to explore Washington DC's monuments. Upon registration, participants will be asked if they are interested in attending these activities. These RSVPs will help us to gauge participation for planning purposes, so that we can give attendees the best possible experience.
