NYEC Relases Report on Youth With Justice Involvement
NYEC 2024 Annual Forum - Registration Now Open
NYEC has released its latest report spotlighting the important work being done across the nation to better serve youth with justice involvement (JI youth). In partnership with the Urban Institute and funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation (AECF), this project was focused on identifying cross-system collaborative efforts that are serving JI youth with a focus on promoting workforce development. The research team interviewed participating organizations, their partners, and the youth they serve, to gain a better understanding of the nature of the collaboratives, their goals, barriers, and successes. This report also highlights several key factors that were identified as being crucial to a successful cross-system approach to serving JI youth. Though much work remains to be done in this space, this report serves as a launching pad for other communities who desire to implement, strengthen, or maintain an effective, collaborative approach to serving this population of youth.
Thank you to our funder, AECF, and to our partner the Urban Institute, for making this report a success.
