On August 1, 2017, from 1 to 2 p.m. ET, OJJDP, in collaboration with the National Girls Initiative, will present Mi Hermana's Keeper: A Toolkit of Promising Practices for Juvenile Justice Prevention Programs Supporting Latina Youth."

This toolkit includes a literature review of why system-involved Latina youth need support, nine program- and system-level recommendations, an action checklist, and feedback from Latina youth, caregivers, and stakeholders.
