The Difference Starts Here

The Juvenile Justice Coalition of Minnesota seeks to create an effective juvenile justice system in the state of Minnesota that promotes the well-being of youth, while holding youth accountable for their actions and protecting the public safety of the community.

We are change.

The Juvenile Justice Coalition of Minnesota (JJC) is a systems change and advocacy based state-wide organization that promotes state level juvenile justice reform in Minnesota. The JJC is an unincorporated association of juvenile justice related professional organizations, state agencies, leaders and stakeholders.

By serving as an innovator and convener, the JJC brings together Minnesota’s juvenile justice community to advocate for successful collaborative models and the use of best practices to promote positive outcomes for youth. Representatives from over 30 organizations provide state-wide leadership and accountability for our work. Interested individuals and organizations can join the JJC as members, participate on our listserv and serve on committees. JJC serves as the Minnesota member of the National Juvenile Justice Network in Washington, DC.
