Juvenile Justice

We know that children who avoid interactions with the juvenile justice system – and violence, drugs, and alcohol - are more likely to succeed. Our mentoring relationships have been proven to prevent juvenile justice involvement as documented in the landmark Big Brothers Big Sisters Public/Private Ventures study. That's why our agency has been awarded competitive federal contracts to deliver this work, and partner with following organizations to reinforce juvenile justice prevention so every child can thrive.
