Florida Department of Juvenile Justice — Our Children, Our Future

State Advisory Group

Overview

The JJDP State Advisory Group currently consists of persons from across the State who have training, experience, or special knowledge of the juvenile justice system. SAG members are appointed by the Governor and are responsible for the advisory of federally allocated funds.

Federal Title II funds are awarded in the form of grants and contracts to providers for up to three years. Each year, the programs are thoroughly evaluated to determine second- and third-year funding based on evaluations and the availability of funding. During fiscal year 2021 the State was awarded $2.2 million for new and renewing Title II subgrants.

Building on past accomplishments, the SAG continues its mission of preventing juvenile delinquency in Florida.
