Operationalizing APPA’s 10 Core Principles for Juvenile Probation
Go Back

SESSION INFO

Wednesday, February 28, 2024
8:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Session Type: Workshop
In the Spring of 2022, under the direction of the American Probation and Parole Association President, a dozen member committee of a diverse group of probation and parole administrators, in partnership with young peoples and community stakeholders identified 10 Core Principles for Juvenile Probation--rooted in adolescent development, inclusion and equity--which was subsequently adopted by APPA. This workshop will cover three areas: (1) we will unpack and review the 10 core principles and how they are consistent with what the science tells us about working with adolescents; (2) we will hear about living examples on operationalizing these principles into practice, highlighting the work of Pierce County, Washington; and, finally, (3) we will spend some time interactively discussing strategies and approaches that APPA can take to ensure these principles are applied and maximized throughout the probation profession and with key stakeholders.
