Coalition for Juvenile Justice

Transforming justice and serving as a resource hub for advocates and policymakers working to ensure a fairer, more effective juvenile justice system.

What We Are

Coalition for Juvenile Justice (CJJ) is a nationwide network of State Advisory Groups (SAGs) and dedicated allies committed to preventing youth involvement in the justice system, while ensuring the highest standards of care and fairness for those who are charged with wrongdoing.

Who We Are

CJJ’s membership consists of State Advisory Group members, Organizational Members, Individual Members, and Youth Members.

How We Advocate

As our members’ national presence, we educate and inform Members of Congress and the Administration on state-identified needs and concerns in the arena of juvenile justice.

How We Impact

Our members work to improve the treatment of young people and their families involved with the juvenile justice system, enhance community safety, and develop and implement innovative strategies that prevent delinquency.

How We Empower

CJJ offers conferences, training, and expert support to develop leaders and implement innovative practices within juvenile justice.

How We Inform

CJJ publications heighten awareness and understanding on a range of juvenile justice concerns and are aimed at sharing the views and recommendations of the State Advisory Groups and CJJ leaders with policymakers, the public, and our juvenile justice colleagues.
