We are excited to invite you to join us in celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) during Youth Justice Action Month, with a special recognition of Senator Chuck Grassley for his leadership in youth justice reform.

We are honored to be inviting key stakeholders, including Coalition members, HHS, Chief Juvenile Court Officers, and Iowa legislators, to join us for this meaningful celebration. We are working on a proclamation recognizing October as Youth Justice Awareness Month.

Location
Drake Legal Clinic

Time

The theme for this year’s event is “Justice Is ____”, giving youth and families impacted by the system a chance to express what justice means to them through art and storytelling. We will showcase their artwork at the event and celebrate the power of restorative justice and healing.

There will also be an opportunity for agencies to showcase their contributions to the juvenile justice system, highlighting the positive impact they are making in our communities. Please feel free to bring your organization's banner. If you do so, please arrive 45 minutes prior to the start of the event to set up.
