Marc Schindler has spent more than 35 years advancing the well‑being of young people through leadership roles in youth justice, nonprofit management, advocacy, and philanthropy. His career includes serving as a public defender, a national civil rights attorney, Executive Director of the Justice Policy Institute, and a partner at Venture Philanthropy Partners. He has also taught at George Washington University and American University and authored more than two dozen research publications. Most recently, he served as Assistant Secretary and Chief of Staff for the Maryland Department of Juvenile Services, helping to steer the state’s youth justice system toward a more developmental, community‑centered model.
At the Georgetown Center for Youth Justice, Schindler is a Research Professor of the Practice and Senior Fellow and leads Forgotten Children, a new national initiative dedicated to restoring dignity to incarcerated youth buried in unmarked graves, while also supporting programs such as the Public Information Officers Learning Collaborative and the Transforming Juvenile Probation Certificate Program. Earlier in his career, he played a key role in reforming Washington, DC’s youth justice system as Interim Director, Chief of Staff, and General Counsel of DYRS. A Yale‑educated political scientist with a law degree from the University of Maryland, Marc lives in Washington, D.C., with his wife and is the proud father of two college‑aged children.
