Youth Justice Action Month (YJAM) is an annual campaign where advocates come together to organize digital and in-person events and activities to raise awareness and inspire action on behalf of young people impacted by the justice system. The Coalition for Juvenile Justice (CJJ), National Youth Justice Network (NYJN) partner annually to support youth justice advocates, state advisory groups, youth-serving organizations, and young leaders across the country in planning and implementing YJAM activities. In honor and in celebration of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) 50th anniversary, and with support from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, CJJ and NYJN are pleased to announce the availability of funds to support 2024 YJAM campaigns, events, and activities.
Applications are due May 31, 2024.
