About CPLI
The Children’s Policy and Law Initiative (CPLI) is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing a statewide-interdisciplinary alliance to advocate for fundamental changes in public policy for children in Indiana. CPLI advocates for systemic changes for children so that programs, policies and practices are developmentally-appropriate, fair and equitably-administered, and provide the necessary support for a child’s successful transition to adulthood.
CPLI is one of 60 organizations in 43 states that belongs to the National Juvenile Justice Network (NJJN). The NJJN leads a movement of state-based advocacy groups working toward a fairer youth justice system.
