SUMMARY:Men's Group
DESCRIPTION:Online Registration for this event is now closed. Please call 773.248.8700 to register. \n  \nMembers & guests: free. \nJoin the Men’s Group this June for their monthly meeting\, hosted by Belmont Village in Lincoln Park. \nAll are welcome! This event is accessible. \n  \n\nThis month’s meeting features Scott Main\, the Director of the Illinois Juvenile Defender Resource Center (JDRC). And will focus on\n\nA justice system that treats accused and incarcerated juveniles differently than it treats adults is key to lowered crime rates and safer streets. Ongoing experience from other countries\, including Northern Ireland\, Germany\, and Finland\, show how they achieved their improvement. Illinois and other U.S. states could achieve the same benefits by re-examining their justice handling of juvenile offenders.Illinois recognized that juveniles are fundamentally different than adults when it founded the first court system devoted exclusively to juveniles in 1899\, and by the mid-1920s\, every other U.S. state (and most countries) had followed suit. Thanks to the Juvenile Justice Initiative\, Illinois has raised the age of juvenile court to 18 and ended most “automatic” transfers of children to adult court – in compliance with international standards.  Further\, again with JJI advocacy\, Illinois took another huge step forward in 2006 by creating a completely separate Department of Juvenile Justice to oversee juvenile detention and incarceration. \nRelying on over two decades as a practitioner and teacher of criminal justice\, Scott Main will address: \n·       In what ways are accused and detained juveniles treated differently than adults\, and why? \n·       How is the current juvenile justice system falling short of its potential in Illinois and elsewhere? \n·       What has the Juvenile Justice Initiative been doing (past and present) to improve the situation? \n·       What are currently the highest priority areas for added improvement? \nCome to hear an effective and efficient approach to reducing crime at all levels by dealing with it in its earliest stages.  And hear how the Juvenile Justice Initiative is leading the charge to make this happen. \n  \nBIO \nScott Main is the Director of the Illinois Juvenile Defender Resource Center (JDRC)\, a division of the Office of the State Appellate Defender (OSAD). The mission of the JDRC is to promote excellence in juvenile defense\, and fairness for all youth in conflict with the law\, through the development of model systems\, advocacy\, training\, and resources. Scott actively helps guide Illinois policy efforts aimed at children and young adults. Scott has been a member of the Illinois Resentencing Task Force\, which advised the governor and legislators on innovative ways to reduce the state’s prison population through resentencing. Scott has been a Council Member on the Illinois Sentencing Policy Advisory Council and a member of the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority Board and the Adult Redeploy Illinois Board. \nScott began his legal career in 2002 as an Assistant Appellate Defender\, representing youth and adults on judicial appeals. From 2012 through 2019\, he was a Clinical Fellow in the Children and Family Justice Center\, Northwestern Pritzker School of Law. Scott taught legal writing and the Criminal Appeals Clinic at DePaul University College of Law and currently teaches at Northwestern Pritzker School of Law. Scott holds an A.B. from the University of Chicago and a J.D. from Loyola University Chicago.

SUMMARY:Men's Group
DESCRIPTION:Join the Men’s Group this May for their monthly meeting\, hosted by Belmont Village in Lincoln Park. \nAll are welcome! This event is accessible. \nThis meeting\, presented by Village Member Torry Duffy poses the question\, “Why was the internet needed?” and is about the steps on the way from personal data to the power of the internet with the vast amount of data it links together\, and the power of classic search tools to give people the ability to find anything from anywhere that has changed their lives. And now\, with the availability of LLM AI\, how it selects the best information from the internet and presents it to you in ways that make it useful immediately. But that power is not without its perils.

SUMMARY:Solo Agers Meet Up
DESCRIPTION:Online registration for this event is now closed. Please call 773.248.8700 if you would like to register. \nPlease join us at our Solo Agers Meet Up at Belmont Village (700 W Fullerton). Our group’s focus during this event will be about forming connections with others in the group to help support one another.

This is encouraged but optional for all attending. \nFor those that have not attended previous Solo Agers’ events\, “Solo Agers” refers to people who are making decisions independently or who have a limited support system. This may include a number of different situations\, and all are welcome at these events. The group intends to convene routinely to get to know one another\, as well as to coordinate and attend expert sessions such as legal or informational etc. that apply to our specific situations. \nWe will have light hors d’oeuvres\, beverages and plenty of time to get to know one another. Hope to see you there! \n
