SUMMARY:Part 1: Credible Messenger Mentoring
DESCRIPTION:What It Is and How It Works: Credible Messenger Mentors in the Workplace\nPlease join us at John Jay College of Criminal Justice on Tuesday\, October 17th\, from 12:00pm-5:00pm\, for a conversation on Credible Messengers.  Credible messenger mentoring is a transformative group mentoring intervention for young adults in the justice system. At its heart\, men and women who were themselves justice-involved are hired to engage young people in structured and intentional relationships. Transformative mentoring relies on the hiring of credible messengers as paid mentors. Because mentors share — and have overcome —similar experiences\, including involvement in the justice system\, young people find them trustworthy. Transformative mentoring with credible messengers has been able to successfully reach young people who were disconnected from education and employment and not otherwise inclined to participate in positive youth programming. At its best\, it helps young people change their attitudes and behaviors and ultimately go on to help others\, becoming mentors themselves. \nThis discussion will be held in the 2nd Floor Dining Hall at 524 West 59th Street (between 10th and 11th avenues). Lunch will be served at 11:30am. Speakers will begin promptly at 12:00pm. \nThis symposium is generously sponsored by the Pinkerton Foundation and organized by the Pinkerton Fellowship Initiative at John Jay College. \nKeynote Speakers \n\n\n\n\n	Clinton Lacey was appointed Director of the District of Columbia Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services (DYRS)\, DC’s        cabinet-level juvenile justice agency\, in 2015.
