Justice for Families (the Organization) is a national alliance of local organizations committed to ending the youth incarceration epidemic. We are founded and run by parents and families who have experienced the juvenile justice system with their children.Research demonstrates that children who have gotten into trouble with the law fare better when supported by non-criminal justice systems and when their families are allowed to support them. Today, juvenile justice systems lock down poor youth and youth of color tracking them toward adult prisons while locking out their families from the decisions that drive youth further along the school-to-prison pipeline.The Organization works toward two primary goals: 1) to transform how juvenile justice systems operate so that families have voice and power in both how and what decisions are made and 2) move resources away from youth incarceration toward direct investments in the youth, families, and communities most harmed by these policies.The Or

| IRS990/Desc | 0 | Justice for Families (J4F) is a national alliance of local organizations and families working? to transform families from victims of the prison epidemic to leaders of the movement for fairness and opportunity for all youth. J4F is the only national juvenile justice reform organization that is founded and run by families that have been directly impacted by the juvenile justice system. We are succeeding in advancing systemic policy and practice change by building a base of those directly impacted. J4F raises the visibility of the need for family decision-making and involvement and provides hands-on support to families and family-focused programs on successful organizing strategies. J4F is a trans-local organization dedicated toward building new and existing local organizations by developing new leaders and organizations in a number of strategic locations. Our primary goals are 1) to transform juvenile justice systems so that they are driven by the interests of youth and families and 2) to move resources away from youth incarceration toward direct investments in young people, their families and the communities most harmed by failed tough on crime policies. |
