Non-JJC Event Scholarships

The JJC has been awarded a two year Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) which includes providing full or partial scholarships for people who work in juvenile justice to attend local training courses. These scholarships are designed for non-JJC sponsored events. The JJC is committed to assisting individuals within agencies and community members who desire to attend JJC training opportunities but are unable to due to budget cuts and financial restraints.
