Community Engagement Workshops

Community Engagement Workshops seek to center residents as the experts of their own experiences. These workshops begin with the understanding that every community has its own strengths and its solutions. The Juvenile Justice team at CCJJ can facilitate a community workshop in your neighborhood that can be used to generate specific, individualized, and community-driven responses to youth justice issues.

How Our Workshops Work

1 Planning

Several people gathered around a table with a laptop and papers, planning together.

First, we hold a brief meeting focused on the logistics of setting up the workshop and discuss expectations.

2 Gathering

A group of community members and facilitators sitting together in conversation.

Here, we connect with the community to discuss their vision and set a date.

3 Walking

Three young people walking and laughing together along a city street.

Now we will walk around the community! Members will have the chance to identify local strengths and priorities within a shared framework.
