Programs

The Juvenile Court Judges' Commission (JCJC) provides leadership, advice, training, and support to enable Pennsylvania’s juvenile justice system to achieve its balanced and restorative justice mission. The JCJC is legislatively empowered to advise juvenile court judges in all matters pertaining to the proper care and maintenance of delinquent and dependent children, employing evidence-based practices whenever possible, and to compile and publish such statistical data as needed for efficient administration of the juvenile courts. In order to accomplish these objectives, the JCJC has dedicated staff in several program areas, which include Annual Conference, Detention Monitoring, Information Technology, Juvenile Court Consulting, Juvenile Probation Services Grant, Professional Development, and Research and Analytics.
