Description

The Becca Bill was passed in 1995 to create a structured response for youth and families experiencing crises, including Truancy, Child in Need of Services (CHINS), or At-Risk Youth (ARY) petitions known as status offenses filed with the court. The Becca Task Force works collaboratively to expand and educate the community, schools, and courts on best practices and ways to engage youth and families in crisis to close this gap between youth and families that are unaccounted for and not receiving services.

Since 2004, CCYJ and the Becca Task Force have partnered to host the Becca Conference, where stakeholders gather to train, network, share best practices, and discuss issues and solutions related to the Becca Laws.

Experts representing education, justice, and community from across the state will provide new information, training, and development to professional and community members who support young people in their pursuit of successful post-secondary pathways, careers, and civic engagement.

Lunch on Nov. 6 and daily snacks are provided.
