The Center for Juvenile Justice Reform at Georgetown University, in partnership with the Center for Children’s Law and Policy (CCLP), the Justice Policy Institute (JPI), the Council of Juvenile Justice Administrators (CJJA), and Arnold Ventures, is pleased to announce a request for applications for the Ending Isolation in Youth Facilities Certificate Program. This will be the second time we are offering this opportunity to the field. The program will be held from July 18-22, 2022 in Washington, D.C.

This intensive training opportunity supports teams to end the use of isolation in their jurisdictions and promote positive outcomes for youth, staff, and communities. The curriculum addresses both practice and policy change, laying the groundwork for teams to create safe and supportive conditions in their facilities, use data to track progress, and enhance buy-in from frontline staff and other essential stakeholders.

A select group from each core team will also be invited to visit a Promising Practice Site, i.e., a jurisdiction that has made significant and measurable progress in reducing the use of isolation.

Notifications of Acceptance will occur in May 2022.
