Abstract	In the United States, involvement with the juvenile justice system can have a long-lasting negative impact on one's life. Young people who are placed in detention facilities are removed from their homes, their families, and their communities. Their education, their ties to society, and their lives are disrupted. Involvement with the justice system -- regardless of incarceration -- can have implications for one's future earning potential and career trajectory, limiting the access one has to educational opportunities, career fields, and available supports. Afterschool and summer learning programs can mitigate risk and support the development of protective factors that help keep young people out of the juvenile justice system. Through a wide expanse of programming opportunities, partnerships, and coordinated efforts, as well as supportive policies -- including the "Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act" (JJDPA) and 21st Century Community Learning Centers initiative -- afterschool programs keep young people safe, connect them to the supports they need, and help build protective factors and positive social connections that lead to bright futures. The juvenile justice system is working on reforms that will better support these young people and connect them with appropriate services to avoid continued contact with the system. From building protective factors that promote resiliency to fostering connections and trust between youth and their community, and even serving as diversion programs that function as alternatives to detention, afterschool programs can be an essential part of the work to support the young people at risk of becoming involved or currently involved with the juvenile justice system and help reframe and redirect their futures.
