JJC provides an array of services to youth and families who enter our system through the Philadelphia Family Court System, the Department of Human Services, and Community Umbrella Agencies. We also provide community based programs that are open to the public.
This page is dedicated to helping the public learn about JJC programs, upcoming events, and other child welfare resources available to anyone who may be in need of services whether they are children in severe circumstances, parents in need of support, or anyone wishing to make a difference in the life of a child.

A majority of the children and youth we help have been exposed to and are victims of trauma and childhood adversity. Please take a moment and view the video below to learn more about childhood trauma and its impact on children. Nadine Burke Harris is an expert on the subject matter and provides great insight during this TED Talk video.
If you or someone you know could benefit from attending an empowerment class to enhance one’s parenting classes, JJC provides 12-week classes that are highly interactive, informative and supportive. Our classes are open to the community and through referrals from Family Court, DHS, Public Health Management Corporation, and Community Umbrella Agencies. There is no cost to attend! Only requirement is that you have children under the age of 18 in your care or in the care of someone else.
JJC provides free childcare during the class time!
