The Coordinating Council on Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention is an independent body within the executive branch of the federal government. The Council's primary functions are to coordinate federal juvenile delinquency prevention programs, federal programs and activities that detain or care for unaccompanied juveniles, and federal programs relating to missing and exploited children. The Council is discussing the prospect of cohosting a symposium which will bring together public and private agencies that have experience working with localities through community development efforts. The purpose of the symposium is three fold: 1) to share lessons on funding and assisting systems change/comprehensive community efforts; 2) to establish a database of technical assistance providers and/or systems change initiatives; and 3) to establish a mechanism for coordinating technical assistance to leverage assistance provided local jurisdictions by multiple funders.
The next Council meeting is scheduled for September 8, 2006. For meeting summaries, information about the Council's mission, and links to related resources, visit the Council's Web site at juvenilecouncil.gov.
