Each year, a national conference brings together juvenile justice practitioners, advocates, policymakers, and system stakeholders to discuss critical issues, share knowledge, and drive positive change within the juvenile justice system. As part of this conference, the National Emerging Leaders Committee (ELC) hosts a dedicated Youth Track, encouraging young leaders to collaborate and explore how we move beyond systems that ask young people to merely survive and instead build pathways for them to thrive.

The founder of Concrete Flowers will host two workshops as part of the youth track: Meet Our Culture, Share Our Culture and The Next Generation, closing with a call to action for attendees to carry the work forward.
