We are so pleased that the the Youth and Family Expert Advisory Council has officially formed! We will be updating the site with an official announcement video introducing council members soon!
The ideal applicant will have the following experiences, skills, and qualities:
Be 18 years old or older
Has previous or current juvenile justice involvement (i.e., aftercare, detention, incarceration, parole probation, and/or residential placement.) and/or interested in juvenile justice reform.
Be a family member of someone with previous or current juvenile justice involvement (i.e., aftercare, detention, incarceration, parole probation, and/or residential placement.)
Selected council members are expected to participate in monthly one-hour virtual meetings, respond timely to all emails, phone calls, or text messages from Council Facilitators, CJJR staff, and fellow committee members, and follow through on any commitments made in support of the Center for R/RED.
While optional, council members will be given the opportunity to participate in all training and technical assistance events offered by the Center.
Members are encouraged to attend all monthly meetings but are expected to attend at least 75 percent annually. Repeated absences may result in removal from the Council.
