Thank you for joining us for a Once‑in‑a‑Lifetime celebration!
We turned 20 — and we celebrated two unforgettable decades of impact, community, and progress with you!
This year, we honored Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown with the Norm Maleng Advocate for Youth Award.
AG Nick Brown has been an integral advocate for the people of Washington, our young people, and CCYJ since long before becoming Washington State’s Attorney General. We are excited to honor him with this award.
Nick Brown is Washington State’s 19th Attorney General. A graduate of Harvard Law and a former Army JAG lawyer and Bronze Star recipient, Nick served as lead counsel for Governor Jay Inslee and then as U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Washington under President Biden. As the state’s chief legal and law enforcement officer, Nick is committed to protecting public safety, advancing environmental and worker protections, standing up for civil rights, and holding the powerful to account when they violate our laws and harm the people of our state.
we’re changing the way young people experience the child welfare and juvenile justice systems—for the better.
