The PbS Coach serves as a trusted advisor to juvenile justice jurisdictions, helping them implement a continuous improvement model to enhance facility operations.

Requires extensive senior-level leadership experience in juvenile justice and secure facility operations. Candidates must possess strong data analysis skills and a proven ability to build trust with diverse stakeholders.
The Center for Improving Youth Justice (CIYJ) is committed to transforming the juvenile justice system through evidence-based practices, coaching, and technical assistance. We partner with jurisdictions, agencies, and youth-serving organizations to implement reforms that improve outcomes for justice-involved youth and their communities.
The Performance-based Standards (PbS) Coach serves as a trusted advisor and ambassador to participating jurisdictions, supporting the successful implementation and integration of the PbS continuous improvement model into daily facility operations.
This role brings deep, career-long expertise in juvenile justice—particularly within secure care—and applies that experience to guide agencies in improving conditions of confinement, strengthening staff practices, and building sustainable, data-driven systems for long-term improvement. Coaches partner closely with facility and agency leadership to translate PbS data into actionable strategies that drive better outcomes for youth and staff.
Research. Practice. Outcomes.
Most young people who come into contact with the juvenile justice system are there as a result of the disadvantages they’ve experienced -- poverty, trauma, homelessness and abuse. The majority are in trouble for common non-violent adolescent behavior. PbS believes in treating every young person as one of our own. We envision a world where all young people have the education, skills, opportunities and connections they need to succeed. We work with youth facilities, residential programs and reentry services to create better outcomes for the youths, their families and the staff, because every young person deserves the chance to succeed. PbS’ goal is to integrate best and research-based practices into daily operations to create safe and healthy facilities and programs that effectively improve the lives of delinquent and at-risk youths, families and communities and prevent future crime. PbS provides support to participants through a variety of training and technical assistance, online resources and the PbS HelpDesk. Additionally, participants work with a PbS coach, a field expert who provides guidance and support to successfully implement PbS. PbS asks participants to collect information from records, reports and interviews of youths, staff and families. The data undergoes a rigorous quality assurance process and is reported back to the participants as outcome measures that show change over time and individual participants’ performance compared to the average of the field of all participants. Working with PbS coaches, participants use the data to identify areas that need improvement and develop a detailed improvement plan. The plan is monitored in future data collections, adjusted as needed, until the desired improvement is achieved and sustained.
