Our Mission

Citizens for Juvenile Justice's mission is advocating for statewide systemic reform that achieves equitable youth justice.

Citizens for Juvenile Justice (CfJJ) was founded in 1994 as the only independent, non-profit, statewide organization working exclusively to reform and reimagine the juvenile justice and other youth serving systems in Massachusetts. We advocate, convene through community engagement, conduct research, and educate the public on important juvenile and youth justice issues.
