Across the country, juvenile justice agencies navigate a complex and disparate legal system — from case management and compliance to cross-agency collaboration and community outcomes. Yet many systems in use today were built for adult services, leaving a critical gap in how services are delivered to young people and the tailored care plans to support them. Join Government Technology, Salesforce, Slack and Tableau for a live discussion focused on how local government agencies — especially Juvenile courts and probation — can take a youth-centered approach using configurable platform technology.  

We’ll explore: 

  • Why juvenile justice workflows demand more than one-size-fits-all software 
  • How local governments are using Salesforce to integrate child welfare and justice systems 
  • Lessons from agencies using platform-based approaches 
  • How to improve outcomes by connecting services, not just systems 

This session will offer actionable insights on how technology can support community-based juvenile justice.
