Many jobs related to the juvenile justice system will be found in government. It could be city, county, state or federal. Some websites to take a look at:
https://www.usajobs.gov/ and https://www.justice.gov/careers for federal government jobs
https://www.criminaljustice.ny.gov/employment.htm and https://statejobs.ny.gov/public/vacancyTable.cfm for New York state government jobs

Another way to learn about careers is to connect with a professional organization that is related to the industry. For example, for forensic psychology you could go to https://www.myiacfp.org/ and also https://www.apadivisions.org/division-41 You can join as a student member and meet people (virtually right now) who do the work you are interested in. Here is a link to some webinars about corrections work: https://www.apls-students.org/webinars.html

Detention centers also publicize their job openings. You can find those jobs on the big online job boards like indeed.com, simplyhired.com, glassdoor.com.

Here is more information about the juvenile offender council: https://juvenilecouncil.ojp.gov/
