Center for Improving Youth Justice had an amazing few days at our 2026 Agency Coordinators Training in Boston!
This year’s theme, Learning and Growing Together, came to life as we brought leaders in from around the country to share knowledge, exchange ideas, and strengthen the work we’re all doing on behalf of young people in the juvenile justice system.
A few thank-yous are in order:
To all of our facilitators who led sessions and added so much depth to this experience
To our coaches, whose guidance, expertise, and leadership continue to shape this field
To the entire CIYJ Team for bringing this experience together with such care and excellence
To Felice Upton for leading such a powerful National Leadership Cohort panel discussion
To christian h. bijoux, Ph.D and Greg Schumann for their phenomenal sessions that had the room fully engaged
From Performance-based Standards scenarios to staffing panels, Facility Improvement Plans, and solution circles, this year’s training reminded us why this community is so special, we truly do learn and grow together.
Grateful for every leader who showed up ready to share, connect, and push this work forward. Onward!
