Resource Development Associates (RDA) Inc. provides committee consulting services to the Contra Costa Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council (JJCC) that includes meeting facilitation and planning. RDA’s multidisciplinary team is comprised of 40 in-house employees and dozens of subcontracted partners, offering more than enough capacity to provide committee consulting services to the Contra Costa Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council (JJCC). From 2018 to 2021, the Contra Costa County Probation Department engaged RDA to lead the development of its Juvenile Probation Consolidated Annual Plan—a cohesive, targeted plan based on two different funding streams, the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA) and the Youthful Offender Block Grant (YOBG), each with their own priorities and requirements. The goal of the consolidated plan is to improve services for youth who are involved in or at risk of involvement in the juvenile justice system. RDA will be assisting the Probation Department with updating our JJCPA-YOBG Consolidated Annual Plan, providing project management and communication, data planning, and engaging community based organizations in a capacity building process.

Without this contract, the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council (JJCC) will not have the proper guidance and support of their work.
