From engaging workshops that inspired growth and leadership to our Executive Director Shannon M. Baker serving as Master of Ceremonies, this year’s 5th Annual Youth Summit was filled with meaningful opportunities to empower Florida’s youth.

We were also honored to welcome Florida Lottery Secretary Reginald Dixon as our keynote speaker. Secretary Dixon shared the Florida Lottery’s commitment to supporting education through the Bright Futures Scholarship Program and encouraged attendees to pursue their goals with purpose, determination, and confidence.

DJJ’s Office of Health Services in conjunction with the Florida Youth Foundation recently held an inaugural walkathon wellness challenge event at DJJ Headquarters. Employees participated in warm-up exercises and a 15-minute walk followed by the opportunity to receive resources from Florida Department of Health. This initiative not only promoted wellness but also helped to raise funds to support our youth and the incredible workforce that serves them each day.
