Girls in Juvenile Justice Work Group

The main goal of the Girls in the Juvenile Justice System (GJJS) working group is to address the needs of girls and identify gender specific services and programs that effectively work with girls at–risk or are involved in the juvenile justice system.  The working group will accomplish this through increasing public awareness, determining what works and what promising programs that directly effect girls are and increasing and improving the access to these services and programs.
