San Francisco's Juvenile Reentry Court

At San Francisco's Youth Guidance Center, Judge Kathleen Kelly presides over the Juvenile Reentry Court, a pioneering collaborative model court-the only one in the nation where the juvenile court is directly involved. A grant from the Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) helps implement the Juvenile Collaborative Reentry Team (JCRT), a collaboration between the juvenile court, the juvenile probation department, the public defender's office, and the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice (CJCJ) to provide coordinated and comprehensive reentry case planning and aftercare services for youth returning to the community from out-of-home placement.
