The Delores Barr Weaver Policy Center, based in Jacksonville, Florida, was established in 2013 as a national model for a girl-centered approach to juvenile justice reform. It focuses on advocating for policies and practices that address the complex needs of girls involved with the juvenile justice system, drawing on research, program development, and advocacy to inform its work. The center provides research-driven insights, training, technical assistance, and direct-service programming across prevention, court diversion, treatment, and re-entry, targeting girls and young women who identify as female. Its activities aim to reduce disparate treatment of girls by integrating the lived experiences of the youth it serves into policy and practice, and it has collaborated with partners to enhance data visualization and understanding of the status of Florida’s girls. The organization operates within the civic and social sector and serves as a resource for model programming and policy analysis, with a focus on improving outcomes for its target population across the juvenile justice continuum.
