Since 1994, Citizens for Juvenile Justice (CfJJ) has been the only independent, statewide 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Massachusetts dedicated exclusively to transforming the juvenile justice, education, and child welfare systems. We work to ensure these systems treat all youth in equitable, developmentally appropriate ways and remain focused on supporting their needs.

By contributing to CfJJ, you directly support our advocacy, research, public education, and coalition building that addresses systemic inequities and improves youth outcomes. Your support impacts thousands of young people throughout Massachusetts, giving them equal opportunities to access quality education, participate in community and civic life, and become successful adults. Donate today and join us in making sure all young people - regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender identity, or immigration status - have opportunities to flourish.

In 2026, CfJJ was awarded Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency. A complete profile of CfJJ and our most recent financial documents can be found at both Candid and CharityNavigator.
