A new initiative aimed at engaging young people in the conversation around juvenile justice reform was unveiled during the House La Juvenile Justice meeting on March 21. The initiative encourages youth to participate in a thought exercise focused on creating a logo for the Juvenile Justice Reform Advisory Council (JRAAC).

The discussion emphasized the importance of involving young voices in understanding and shaping the concept of juvenile justice within their communities. Stakeholders believe that this engagement will not only foster awareness about JRAAC but also empower youth to reflect on their own experiences and perspectives regarding juvenile justice.

This initiative marks a significant step in promoting community involvement and ensuring that the voices of young people are heard in discussions that directly affect their lives. As the program unfolds, it is expected to enhance understanding and dialogue around juvenile justice reform in Louisiana.
