This year, the Arkansas Kids Count Coalition is hosting a monthly webinar series, Policy 101, to explore the fundamentals of major policies and programs impacting children and families in Arkansas. The webinars are meant to provide advocates with the essentials around many important topics to help you in advocating for the well-being of Arkansas’s children. We will cover essential components of a program or policy, as well as current issues affecting the policy. We will end by answering your questions.

In Juvenile Justice 101, Kurt Meredith, Senior Staff Attorney and Kevin Hoffman, Juvenile Justice Specialist from Arkansas Juvenile Division of the Courts, will cover key components of Arkansas’s juvenile justice system.
