Core webinar: Reaching People in Juvenile Detention Centers

Date: Wednesday, April 13, 2022

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.



This is the final session in a four-part series regarding Technology

Description: This presentation considers an underserved population that has
likely been further left behind during the pandemic–young people in
juvenile detention centers. In a collaboration between two public libraries
serving very different communities in the same county—a county with
numerous juvenile detention facilities—the librarians identified the
opportunity to provide programming for these young people in person prior
to the pandemic and to re-imagine and redesign the programming for a
virtual format. The project provides the opportunity for the librarians to
tailor programming, combining technology, team building, problem solving,
reading and writing for individuals in a particularly isolated setting.

Learning outcomes:

By the end of this webinar, attendees will gain:

- enhanced understanding of the young people in juvenile detention centers,
who disproportionately experience negative outcomes educationally and
otherwise;

- increased awareness of one example of the use of virtual programming to
foster engagement and learning among a group of young people, who
experience a particular level of isolation and other challenges; and

- expanded familiarity with one educational model that uses technology,
selected reading and writing content and examples, and customized, hands-on
activities to foster engagement and learning.

Who should attend?

Anyone with an interest in the topic can benefit from this session and is
welcome to participate.
