Oregon Juvenile Justice System Symposium

Building a path to a better future for
Oregon's youth and communities

October 11-12, 2010 ◊ Eugene Hilton Hotel
   

 

 

 

Oregon’s 2010 Juvenile Justice System Symposium drew nearly 250 participants from diverse disciplines and locations throughout Oregon.

 

For two days these individuals came together to collaborate on ways to ensure Oregon retains an efficient, cost-effective and sustainable juvenile justice system in the years ahead.

 

The next steps will be to develop a series of statewide strategies to maintain Oregon’s already strong juvenile justice system and ensure Oregon stays a national leader in creating positive outcomes for youth and communities.
