  SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA — The W.

This grant funds a project that will identify the barriers and challenges to improving programs and services for juvenile justice system-involved youth using scientifically-validated interventions. The Institute will produce a series of issue briefs on the problem, and strategies to improve the quality of programs and services that it will disseminate broadly through workshops, conference presentations, and electronic media.
