SOCIAL JUSTICE SERVICES

The Social Justice Services Department encompasses the adult and youth programs of Community Resources for Justice (CRJ). We firmly believe that justice applies to every aspect of society, and not solely to the administration of laws. The Social Justice Services Department is committed to full and equal opportunities for all individuals in society, regardless of their past behaviors or circumstances. The Department includes residential and community-based programs which focus on the specific and unique needs of our clients, while also emphasizing public safety. We partner with social service agencies and the community to provide the best services possible, and are dedicated to having a positive impact on the clients in our care and on the neighborhoods in which we are located. The adult components focus on reentry programming for men and women involved with county, state and federal criminal justice systems. The youth components focus on structured and goal-oriented programming for at-risk and delinquent youth.
