Strategic Partnerships

Strategic Partnerships | (funders)

In 2002, the JAJCF facilitated a highly-inclusive planning process with Court leadership and a broad cross-section of community stakeholders to develop a shared vision for the Court and a strategic plan for achieving that vision. In total, more than 70 community agency representatives, parents, and children were involved, joining over 30 court personnel. By involving these varied stakeholders in the planning and subsequent implementation stages, the JAJCF has helped move beyond finger-pointing to create a sense of collective responsibility among the Court, our other major public systems, and the communities they serve, for meeting the needs of the 30,000 children and families who come through the Court’s doors annually.

Representatives of the following public and private agencies partnered with JAJCF and the Court in the strategic planning and implementation process facilitated at the Cook County Juvenile Court:
