Created by Executive Order 2012-1, the 15-member committee advises the Governor on juvenile justice issues and guides effective implementation of juvenile justice policies and programs.
“Strong and healthy youth and families and safe communities are essential, and I am confident Michael will help advance these goals through his service,” Snyder said.
Reynolds presented at the White House regarding the status of education reform as part of the Coalition for Juvenile Justice. He has interned with Focus: HOPE and the Detroit Athletic Club.
