2013

The 2nd Global Youth Justice Training Institute

For Adult Staff and Key Adult Volunteers in Existing Programs

June 11-13, 2013

Registration opens on January 1, 2013.

The 2nd Global Youth Justice Training Institute for adult staff and key adult volunteers will be held in Cape Cod, MA, USA. The 1^st Global Youth Justice Training Institute and Staff Retreat took place in Cape Cod in 2010 and was filled with full-time and part-time adult staff and other key adults who are involved in these teen courts and youth courts in a capacity to include a key volunteer role, administrative role and/or managerial role.  Former Youth Court and Teen Court staff and key adult supporters are also certainly most welcome.  

In 2010, adults staff and adult volunteers from more than twenty-eight (28) states and Washington, DC attended this International Training Institute.  The 2^nd Global Youth Justice Institute in 2013 promises to be even better, and bigger, as Global Youth Justice makes this a tradition for the adults staff and adult volunteers who champion these juvenile justice and youth justice programs in America and increasingly around the world.  Sorry - no youth are allowed.  We do allow a limited number of youth at our International Trainings to Establish/Enhance a local Youth Court or Teen Court Juvenile Justice Diversion Program.

The 2013 Theme for the 2^nd Global Youth Justice Institute will be “Grants, Resources, Partnerships, Social Media, Service Connections/Resources, Fund-Raising and Improving your Grant Writing Skills”. 

Start saving your money and be assured our popular Low $195 registration fee including many meals and amenities will not be going up and the Oceanside Resort rates will be very affordable once again (Under $109 per night)!  Very affordable rates will also be available on the front end and the back end of this Institute - so plan to stay a few extra days - U deserve it!  Come join in the tradition that began in 2010 and continues in 2013!  Start saving and planning now for 2013, so some of your key adult volunteers and part-time and full-time staff can come – make it a tradition – we are!  Former Teen Court and Youth Court part-time and full-time staff and key adult supporters/volunteers are most certainly welcome and encouraged to attend.
