Youth Justice Transformation in Action

Managing Change: The King County Experience (ft. Robert Gant and Aaron Parker)

RFK National Resource Center for Juvenile Justice (rfknrcjj.org) Season 2 Episode 3

The role of the manager is critical to successful youth justice transformation efforts. In this podcast,  Robert Gant and Aaron Parker, two program managers from King County, Washington, discuss the steps they took to effectively reform the youth justice system during a tumultuous period of transition. From COVID to leadership transitions to building a new facility amidst community pressure to eliminate the need for secure detention for youth, Robert and Aaron share how their experience in community-based organizations and knowledge of implementation science supported them in successfully implementing the Juvenile Therapeutic Response and Accountability Court (JTRAC).
