Professional Development

The Juvenile Court Judges’ Commission (JCJC) coordinates and presents in-person, virtual, and online workshops each year to juvenile probation officers, juvenile court judges, service providers, and other juvenile justice professionals. Workshops are designed to enhance participants’ skills in working with justice-involved youth and the administration of services. These workshops provide professional development opportunities for juvenile justice professionals to enhance their skills and competencies to effectively advance Pennsylvania’s juvenile justice system.
