  • About Us

    The Robert F. Kennedy National Resource Center for Juvenile Justice, led by RFK Community Alliance, provides consultation, technical assistance, and training to serve local, state, and national leaders, practitioners, and youth-serving agencies.

    We partner with jurisdictions and communities across the nation to enhance system performance and improve outcomes for youth involved with the juvenile justice system, reinforced through our commitment to adolescent development science, best-practice methods and approaches, and evidence-based programs and treatment services.

  • How Can We Serve Your Community?

    Throughout the country and abroad, we deliver intensive Technical Assistance and On-Site Trainings through the use of seminal frameworks that transform the youth justice system, with focus on:

    • Probation & Juvenile Justice System Improvement
    • Dual Status Youth (DSY) Reform
    • DSY Reform, with an emphasis on Commercially Sexually Exploited Children (CSEC)
    • Alternative Responses to Formal Prosecution
    • Research-Based Approaches to Reform (including adolescent development, trauma-informed care, and positive youth development)
  • Probation and Youth Justice System Review Guidebook

    The “System Review” Guidebook was developed for probation departments, courts, and youth justice systems seeking to improve outcomes for the young people they serve thereby achieving our shared goals for reducing risk for future delinquent behavior, holding youth accountable, supporting sustainable positive behavior change, and improving community safety.

    Visit our Online Resource Library to access the System Review Guidebook!

  • Introducing Our New Practice Network

    Through the formation of the Transformation of Youth Justice (TYJ) Practice Network, we are bringing together experienced and visionary practitioners from across the country who have championed reform within their local jurisdictions. Collectively, the TYJ Practice Network will share their experience and expertise to help shape the direction of practice and policy reform on a nationwide level.

    Meet the TYJ Practice Network!
