How does my states local reform work connect to the national Models for Change initiative?
Models for Change is a national initiative that works as a catalyst for ongoing local work and reform. The initiative works to connect local reforms across states and the nation, to help coordinate and direct a juvenile justice reform movement. Some local efforts are chosen by the initiative and state lead entities to receive direct funding. Other sites receive resources in the form of technical assistance and links to other reform efforts. In all cases, local reform work provides the crucial reforms that the initiative seeks to spread through coordination and replication of successful models.
