Background

About Kendra Landers

I am a committed and values-driven juvenile justice professional with over two decades of experience supporting youth, families, and frontline teams. Currently serving as a Juvenile Probation Officer Supervisor, I lead with empathy, accountability, and a deep belief in second chances. My passion lies in developing effective teams, improving system responses, and ensuring that youth receive fair, individualized, and trauma-informed services. With a background that spans detention, field supervision, and court services, I bring a comprehensive understanding of the juvenile justice system and a hands-on approach to leadership. I specialize in case management, risk assessment, staff development, and program implementation—always grounded in research and responsive to the needs of both youth and the community. I believe real change happens when people feel seen, heard, and supported. I’m committed to cultivating trust, building collaborative partnerships, and helping others reach their full potential.
