Juvenile Justice Services (JJS) is dedicated to creating safe environments and fostering personal growth for New Mexico's youth. The program emphasizes prevention, early intervention, and rehabilitation for young people who are at risk or already involved with the juvenile justice system. JJS connects these individuals and their families with reintegration programs, community resources, and supportive services.
"Support, structure, and second chances," is how JJS describes its mission. By focusing on these areas, the organization aims to help young people build brighter futures. More information about JJS can be found on their website: cyfd.nm.gov/JJS.
The New Mexico Children Youth & Families Department oversees Juvenile Justice Services as part of its broader efforts to support the state's youth.
