This workshop will provide strategies for
the urban youth worker in supporting youth
who have been arrested or incarcerated as
they return to the community. Whether in the
context of a formal program or as an individual
act of ministry, urban youth workers can meet
a critical need in our communities by providing
consistent and focused support to youth
who have come into contact with the juvenile
justice system. The workshop will explore the
challenges young people face when they enter
the juvenile justice system and specific areas
that require intervention and support.
