Support CYJ Through Gift
We believe that a fair and equitable youth legal system is essential for building a just society. By empowering communities and systems partners to understand, challenge, and rectify systemic biases, we aim to create a lasting impact on the lives of young individuals, ensuring that their encounters with the legal system are characterized by fairness, understanding, and an unwavering commitment to equity.
Your contribution to one of the Center for Youth Justice’s gift funds will help ensure that the Center’s work continues and expands as we pursue our five main goals:
- Advancing a strength-based, holistic, and developmental approach for youth, because after all, we must always remember that these are kids
- Promoting authentic, meaningful, and impactful youth and family partnerships, always remembering the mantra of “nothing about us, without us”
- Preventing legal system involvement for youth in the first place where possible and embracing community-driven models and approaches;
- Strengthening cross-system collaboration and partnerships to minimize burdens on youth and families, maximize precious system resources, and achieve positive outcomes for all; and
- Advancing racial justice and equity in the youth legal system; our work must not and cannot cease until all youth and families have equitable opportunities to thrive.

We have two gift funds set up to help support the Center.
The Center for Youth Justice Gift Fund
The Center for Youth Justice Gift Fund helps support the operational activity of the Center, enabling us to expand new initiatives, safeguard and strengthen mission priorities, and pursue progress with communities that lack funds for support themselves. You can learn more about the Center’s goals on our mission page.
The Janet Reno Endowment Fund
Your contribution to the Janet Reno Endowment will help ensure that Janet Reno’s dedication to supporting youth is honored and remembered, and that attention to the issues to which she devoted her career is sustained. You can learn more about the Janet Reno Endowment on its dedicated landing page.
