Foreword

We are pleased to provide this issue of Training Programs for Juvenile

Corrections Professionals. It describes the training programs and technical

assistance available from the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) Academy

through an interagency agreement with the Office of Juvenile Justice and

Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP).

This is the 12th year OJJDP has entered into an agreement with NIC to provide services. Both agencies strongly believe that juvenile correctional, detention, and probation and parole professionals should have opportunities for

high-quality training and training-related services. We hope that the offerings,

based on input from the NIC/OJJDP Training Committee and the Juvenile

Justice Training Academy Workgroup, meet your needs.

We have designed our activities to help you meet the continuing juvenile justice challenges you encounter in your career and your organization as well as

with your staff and the juvenile offenders you manage.

This service plan is available at NIC’s Web site at www.nicic.org/services/

training/programs/juvenile. NIC will announce updates to this plan on its Web

site throughout the year.

We look forward to your and your agency’s participation in the training activities planned for this year.

Introduction

General Information

Through an interagency agreement with the Office of Juvenile Justice and

Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), the National Institute of Corrections (NIC)

is offering training and related services for practitioners in juvenile corrections, detention, and probation and parole for the 12th year. The activities will

be coordinated by the NIC Academy in Longmont, Colorado.

The current NIC/OJJDP agreement provides for services through May 2003.

Funding for the agreement is through the Juvenile Accountability Incentive

Block Grant program. The NIC Academy and OJJDP have worked closely

with an appointed Training Committee of juvenile correctional and detention

leaders from throughout the nation to identify the training priorities of the

field. The training programs and services described in this document were

chosen based on continuous training needs assessments, including national

forums, focus groups, participant evaluations, and Training Committee recommendations. A national needs assessment forum was held in March 2002

to obtain input from practitioners on juvenile justice training priorities for the

future.

These training programs were developed or adapted specifically for juvenile

justice practitioners. Each program provides several days of intensive training,

including small- and large-group discussions, group exercises, and shared

experiences. In most cases, participants develop individual action plans or initiate projects they can implement when they return home.

By providing leadership and assistance to the field of corrections, NIC serves

as a catalyst for interaction among correctional agencies, other components of

the criminal justice system, public policymakers, and concerned public and

private organizations. Through training and related activities, the Academy

Division promotes constructive organizational change and full use of

resources.

OJJDP is committed to working in partnership with government agencies,

professional organizations, community groups, and private citizens to create

opportunities and conditions that enable young people to mature into healthy,

self-sufficient adults while protecting society from juvenile crime and 

violence.

Programs undertaken by OJJDP share a common purpose: to have a positive

and practical impact on the serious problems affecting youths today. This goal

underlies OJJDP’s efforts to prevent delinquency; improve the effectiveness

of juvenile and family courts, detention, corrections, and reentry/aftercare;

provide alternatives for youths at risk of becoming delinquents; reduce the

number of school dropouts; prevent child abduction, abuse, and exploitation;

and provide appropriate sanctions for serious, violent, and chronic juvenile

offenders.

Continuing Education Units

Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are available through Indiana University

at South Bend following completion of most NIC training programs. One

CEU is awarded for every 10 hours of training. Interested participants receive

applications for CEUs at the end of the program and mail them, along with a

fee, to the university. Although CEUs cannot be applied toward academic

degrees, they are recognized as evidence of training and a commitment to

increasing professional skills.

Regionalization: A National Network of Training

Volunteers

Who Should Apply to Become a Regional Field Coordinator

Juvenile and adult agency training directors, administrators, coordinators, and

senior trainers with experience in developing, delivering, and/or coordinating

training in their home agencies.

Description

The Regionalization program’s national network of training volunteers—

known as regional field coordinators (RFCs)—brings together correctional

trainers and training managers from around the nation. The program expands

NIC’s capacity to deliver high-quality correctional training at local, state, and

federal levels. The 40 RFCs—10 from each of the 4 regions—share training

programs and resources and exchange ideas with their counterparts around the

country. The various corrections disciplines—community corrections, jails,

juvenile justice, prisons, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP)—are equally represented.

Each fall, the NIC Academy sponsors a meeting of the RFCs to design regional workshops and other activities funded, in part, by NIC, based on input from

correctional training personnel in their regions.
Helping Agencies Build Capacity for

Selection. RFCs are selected through an annual application process tha

includes endorsement by their chief executive officers to ensure they w

transition from institutional settings back into the community. Key focus areas

include—

way to assess current jurisdictional reentry/aftercare practice.

• A site visit to a juvenile residential facility and assessment of the six stages

in practice.

• Assessment of the impact of systems-of-care issues in reentry/aftercare 

services development, including the following:

–Developing community partnerships.

–Creating opportunities for community services to exist within 

institutions/facilities.

–Incorporating broad-based culturally specific services.

–Supporting the primary role of family/significant others.

–Proposing strategies to recruit, train, and retain a diverse, representative

workforce.

Juvenile Transition and Activation Process

Who Should Attend

Minimally, the team will consist of the assigned transition coordinator and the

facility director. The process of transition and activation usually involves a

wide variety of individuals. Some have a direct role in the operation of the

facility, and others will be significant stakeholders and users. As the training

program develops, the size and composition of the team will be refined.

Description

This new program is currently being developed. It will be 32–36 hours in

length and will help juvenile justice officials prepare to open new or renovated

facilities. 

In recent years the number of juvenile justice agencies constructing secure

facilities to house juvenile offenders has increased. These complex structures

require equally complex processes and procedures to operate. Once designed

and built, practitioners must ensure that the new facility functions as designed

and meets its mandates and mission. Hundreds of policy and administrative

decisions must be made that affect programs, services, and operations. These

decisions drive thousands of detailed procedures, schedules, inspections, activities, moving and training plans, and the resulting documentation. This training
