Education and the World of Work: Anchors to a Strong Juvenile Reentry Plan

Posted by on June 13, 2011

Webinar discusses how education, work impacts delinquent reintegration

Educational attainment is connected to a wide variety of important outcomes, from employment and income to health and well-being. The potential impact of education is even greater for youth in the juvenile justice system facing educational deficiencies greater than their peers. Education can bridge youth in residential placement to employment, reduce the risk of recidivism, and increase the likelihood of successfully transitioning to the community and to adulthood.

The Justice Center of the Council of State Governments will sponsor a webinar to describe the elements of strong educational programs in residential facilities, strategies for ensuring continuity to community-based academic and vocational programs, and the roles different juvenile justice system parties play in ensuring educational opportunities for youth committed to placement. The online workshop will be held on Wednesday, June 15th at 2pm.
