“ I loved being a part of the leadership development program and always looked forward to our monthly meetings. I learned invaluable information which I have incorporated into my work and in my leadership roles. I was able to spend time with other professionals who share my interests and who motivated me to continue working towards our shared goals as they relate to youth justice reform. Hearing from others in the field opened my eyes to everyone’s unique challenges and perspectives and gave me a newfound appreciation for the work we do.”
