Strategic plan
The Department of Juvenile Services’ 2024-2028 Strategic Plan consists of four core tenets:
- Successful youth,
- Safer communities,
- Strong leaders, and
- Sustainable partnerships.
The plan outlines strategies to target resources for young people who most need them, creating a robust array of programs that are engaging, that reduce idleness, and that build skills. Whether youth are in community-based settings or residential facilities, the plan proposes collaborative investment in holistic approaches to community vibrancy in the neighborhoods most impacted by the youth justice system.
