Though the teens typically stay for one program year, the Board addresses the same policy issue for two. The first year is devoted to researching an issue and forming policy recommendations, the second year to advocating for and pursuing implementation of the those recommendations. This report is a brief evaluation of the Board’s work on alternative-to-detention (ATD) programs for youth in the juvenile justice system during the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 program years, looking at whether the Board was successful in taking what was learned from a capacity building research project to be more effective in getting policymakers to implement or consider implementing any of the recommendations.
