Juvenile Justice Reentry Education Program Tools and Resources

The U.S. Department of Education, Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education (OCTAE) has launched the Juvenile Justice Reentry Education Program: Opening Doors to College and Careers through Career and Technical Education (JJ-REP). This ambitious initiative presented a unique framework for an integrated “reentry system.” This reentry system integrates traditionally discrete interventions and decision points in the juvenile system, such as adjudication and confinement, to the education-related decision points and interventions that touch youth in the justice system, like school discipline and post-confinement aftercare or community-based education programs.
