IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt13In 2024, Justice for Families (J4F) continued to make impactful strides in
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt14expanding and equipping our network of family leaders with lived experience
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt15amplifying their role in shaping policies and practices within the
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt16juvenile justice and child welfare systems. Building on the momentum of
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt17previous years, we broadened our efforts to support youth, families
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt18and communities through innovative partnerships, culturally responsive
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt19events, and resource development aimed at driving systemic reform
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt20In response to the temporary closure of the West Farms Library branch, J4F
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt21partnered with United Way to establish our own alternative community
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt22library site. This effort helped ensure continuity in access to books
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt23technology, and learning resources for Bronx families demonstrating J4F's
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt24adaptability and responsiveness to community needs. J4F in collaboration
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt25with those directly impacted by juvenile justice systems(and funded by
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt26the National PREA Resource Center), developed new educational materials to
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt27support families of incarcerated children, specifically focused on the
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt28Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA). These resources provide essential
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt29information on youth rights and protective measures, equipping caregivers
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt30with tools to advocate for the safety and dignity of their children while
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt31in custody.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt32Partnerships with organizations such as the Childrens Defense Fund-NY
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt33J-MAC for Families, RISE, and the NYC Office of the Public Advocate to host
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt34forums, amplify policy advocacy, and train youth civic educators.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt35Our team reflects the communities we serve, we are able to build trust-
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt36based, culturally grounded relationships that foster lasting civic
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt37leadership and action. For J4F, engagement is more than participation, it
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt38is a pathway to reclaiming voice, power, and community self-determination.
