Overview

Mission

To work individually and in partnership with other organizations to ensure that Ohio's juvenile justice system - from prevention through involvement with the adult court - works effectively to increase positive outcomes for youth, families and communities. Jjc supports efforts to reduce youth's involvement with the juvenile justice system that are community-based, research informed, culturally appropriate, and to put all of Ohio's youth on a path to success.

What it reported doing in 2025

The juvenile justice coalition strives to provider a youth-centered organizational vehicle for people affected by the juvenile justice system and their communities through policy, advocacy, community organizing and education, and nurturing leadership.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 98% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
