The ACLU of Nevada is proud to be Nevada’s member of the National Juvenile Justice Network (NJJN). The National Juvenile Justice Network (NJJN) exists to support and enhance the work of state-based groups to promote the reform of Americas critically flawed juvenile justice system at every level. Through education, community-building and leadership development, NJJN enhances the capacity of juvenile justice coalitions and organizations in 36 states to press for state and federal laws, policies and practices that are fair, equitable and developmentally appropriate for all children, youth and families involved in, or at risk of becoming involved in, the justice system. Although communities of color are generally those most heavily-impacted by the juvenile justice policy, professionals of color are underrepresented in the ranks of reformers. The Institute seeks to address this imbalance. Read more about the Institute and its 2014 fellows here.
