Breaking the destructive cycle of juvenile crime

Breaking the destructive cycle of juvenile crime

JIFF provides youth from the juvenile justice system with the skills, support and direction necessary to break the destructive cycle of criminal behavior. We are a 501c3 program dedicated to seeing youth flourish, free from a life of crime. By influencing the thinking, behavior and direction of young offenders (age 12-18) and their families, we can help them pursue productive and pro-social activities.

Stories, news and successes

Stories, news and successes

Nothing tells the story of JIFF’s impact better than the youth who have completed the program and made life changes. Through these stories and videos, you’ll see the transformations from trouble to a brighter future. With tools and JIFF’s Core Values — strong work ethic, teachable spirit, strong interpersonal skills, trustworthiness, and competency — these young adults are now headed in a totally new and meaningful direction.
