Juvenile Justice Center - Intensive Prevention Services

Services include family support, community-based stabilization, foster care and permanency assistance, and youth development programs. Support is offered in homes, neighborhoods, schools, and foster families, with a focus on preventing youth involvement in child welfare and juvenile justice systems and assisting those already involved. Programs use trauma-informed care, positive youth development, restorative practices, family engagement, and culturally relevant enrichment. The Community Evening Resource Center provides a safe setting for young people to learn skills and take part in pro-social activities. JJC Family Services serves children, teens, older youth, parents, caregivers, and foster families navigating trauma, poverty, or system involvement. The organization has provided services since 1976. It is based in Philadelphia.
