In November of 1965, Christian P. Napoli, Supervisor with the Richmond Juvenile Court Service Unit, sent
a letter to each of Virginia’s Chief Juvenile Probation Officers requesting their attendance at a meeting at the Richmond
Juvenile Court on December 15, 1965. “During the past year,” Mr. Napoli’s letter read in part, “interest
has been generated by Juvenile Court staff in forming a Virginia State Juvenile Officers Association. The purpose is to encourage
active participation of professional staff dealing with persons under the age of 18 years, that they may render a more valuable
service to people of the State of Virginia and courts which they serve."
In 2006 VJJA marked its 40th anniversary with a publication and a celebration in conjuction with the
30th Fall Juvenile Justice Institute. Learn more HERE.
