The
Jane Addams Juvenile Court
Foundation is an independent
not for profit corporation dedicated to fostering
a shared commitment among the civic, business,
philanthropic and social service communities to
guide troubled children and families in Cook County
toward stable, productive, safe and healthy
lives while at the same time protecting the interests
of all citizens.
Given the pivotal role of the juvenile
court in advancing this mission, JAJCF is committed
to working closely with the Cook County Juvenile
Court and all its varied stakeholders to advance
innovation and to further the role of the Juvenile
Court of Cook County as a model for the administration
of compassionate and effective justice for children,
families and communities nationwide.
Consistent
with the long-term plan of our Board of
Directors, the Jane Addams Juvenile Court
Foundation (JAJCF) will conclude its ten-year
mission of reform and close its doors on
June 30, 2012. This represents the
culmination of a strong and productive partnership
with the leadership of the Cook County Juvenile
Court, its partner offices and agencies,
and a wide range of other stakeholders.
It has been a sincere pleasure to work with
such dedicated individuals toward ensuring
an effective and responsive court committed
to justice, care, and safety for all of
our communities' children and families. |
