Professional Juvenile Justice Supervisor Courses (PJJS) As a consequence of the successful development and implementation of the Professional Juvenile Justice Administrator (PJJA) certification program, the National Juvenile Court Services Association (NJCSA) is now expanding its alternative online training and/or certification programs to accommodate supervisors working in the field of juvenile justice. The new Professional Juvenile Justice Supervisor (PJJS) certificate program is being developed at the urging of administrators who recognize the importance of upgrading the professionalism of these middle managers. This program is funded under a grant from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), FY 07 National Juvenile Justice Programs. PJJS courses will be coming online in the Fall of 2008 at www.njcsacertification.org.
