CfJJ organizes two to three Juvenile Justice Forums each year which present speakers on important current issues in a setting that invites informal discussion with the audience. The Forums are free and open to the public. CfJJ also hosts an annual Leadership Celebration in late fall. The Celebration is a reception catered by Madison Park Catering Cardinals that features distinguished speakers and honors individuals and organizations who have made special contributions to the field, celebrates the entire community of people who work with and on behalf of at-risk youth – and helps raise money for CfJJ through corporate sponsorships and ticket sales.
