NC4YC Webinar: Building a Continuum of Services for Youth in Custody

This is a video recording of the presentation given on Wednesday, March 7, 2012.

The fact is that we do know a substantial amount about what works for youth who are committed to our juvenile justice systems. Effective systems feature a range of services -- a continuum of services -- and do not place all or most offenders in the same type of program. While the range of programs may vary, they are guided by research and characteristics of effective programs; youth are placed based on an assessment matching a youth's risk to public safety and his specific needs; and the community is engaged and viewed as partners in program design, delivery and evaluation of outcomes.

NC4YC is proud to present the webinar: "Building a Continuum of Services for Youth in Custody: Effective Programs, Risk and Needs Assessment and Engaging the Community". The distinguished panelists and moderator will engage participants in an interactive discussion regarding:


1. Core elements of effective programs: the components of a successful "Continuum of Services"
2. Building the "Continuum of Services" by strategically aligning programs into an effective array of services
3. Strategies for engaging the community at various levels of the Continuum of Services

With Special Opening Remarks by OJJDP Acting Director, Ms. Melodee Hanes
