Hi,
Tomorrow, August 1st, we celebrate JusticeWorks’ 19th birthday!
In 1999 we incorporated and began our first JustCare service with Lehigh County Juvenile Probation. We had 2 staff; one in Western PA working with delinquent youth placed in public and private institutions, and another in Lehigh who provided support and supervision when kids returned home. We were successful at reducing length of stay in all facilities, and achieved very positive recidivism results. Which started our growth, and today we operate in 91 counties in 5 states with more than 600 staff!
The $300 I invested to create JusticeWorks has worked out pretty well (at the time, it was pretty much all the money I had!).
All of our growth and all of our miracle stories with thousands of children and families each year are only possible because of the commitment and hard work of each of you. We have built a winning culture of doing whatever it takes to achieve a positive outcome with our families AND to be able to document the results of our work so our public sector partners know that their money is well-spent. This formula has kept us going & growing… and will continue to!
I thank each of you for helping to make this possible and for helping to build better futures for children, families and our community.
Soon, you will be receiving a birthday present from JusticeWorks. Enjoy & use/wear with pride!
Every best wish,
Dan
We are planning a fantastic 20th Anniversary Party next August… time and place(s) to be announced. Stay tuned!
