About
OJD was awarded a grant from OJJDP in 2022 that provides for the creation of a Juvenile Justice Advisory Board. This board will be comprised of Oregon youth with lived experience who will meet regularly to provide a critical perspective on delinquency system improvement efforts.
The JJAB is currently comprised of six young individuals with lived experience. We meet monthly to provide a forum for these youth to share their experience in the juvenile justice system and discuss suggestions they have for system improvements. JJAB youth will be joining a youth panel at our upcoming judicial training to share their perspective on how courts can improve.
If you are a youth or know a youth with lived experience that may be interested in joining the JJAB if and when there are openings, please reach out to Caroline Meyer at caroline.e.meyer@ojd.state.or.us.
