Chiu will address the unique concerns and challenges to government officials presented by engaging young people in agenda setting and decision making about the juvenile justice system, and offer practical suggestions for promoting youth participation in these endeavors. The call’s panel will also include Steve Eiseman, Deputy Chief Probation Officer at the Juvenile Court of Cook County, and one or two youth representatives from the Cook County program. After the panel presentation, we will have time for questions and answers.
