Mission
To support the efforts of the DeKalb County Juvenile Court to recognize and respond to the trauma-related needs of youth and their families, and to develop sustainable pathways to empower youth toward success.
About Us
DeKalb County Juvenile Justice Council was formed in 2016 as a 501c(3) non-profit organization to support the efforts of DeKalb County Juvenile Court’s (DCJC) programs and services. Our partnership with DCJC helps provide financial and community support for the most in need youth and their families in the DeKalb County, GA community.
The programs are designed to address the current issues youth and families face in the home, school, and community and work to overcome those challenges while providing assistance to parents in dealing with everyday issues. DeKalb County Juvenile Justice Council, in partnership with the court, parents, school and community will serve to help create positive change in the present and future for our young men and women and ensure they are thriving as law abiding, productive members of our community
