SEE OUR RESULTS
Whatever It Takes!
JusticeWorks embodies the heart and head of human service. At our heart is a passionate, tireless commitment to improve the lives of those with whom we’re entrusted to work. We are proactive, innovative and persistent at finding the ingredients to make a positive difference for our children and families.
Heart is of little value without a head to direct and evaluate effort. Since our inception we have been an outcomes-driven organization. Evaluation studies have consistently shown the efficacy of our work and demonstrated substantial cost savings for the public sector.
As a human service organization, we stress the importance of being human to the people we work with and to our own staff. We are immensely proud of our staff and have a culture which respects and rewards their hard work and accomplishments.
Our effective philosophy and practice have earned us a superb reputation and led to continuous growth since our founding in 1999.
Mission & Values
JusticeWorks’ mission is to build better futures for youth, their families and the community.
We provide innovative programs that identify and build on youths’ and families’ strengths. We create structure to positively redirect their lives. We help youth become good citizens and assist their families to resolve their problems and to be supportive of their children. Our efforts help remedy damage to the community and restore community safety.
Our values being with KidsFirst! In everything we do the needs and concerns of youth and families are our fundamental concern. All of our work is directed to help the youth and families in our care.
JusticeWorks has taken our responsibility seriously to be an accountable, high quality provider. We’ve consistently made an effort to evaluate the outcomes of our work to guide the evolution of our programs. While we are proud of the outstanding results we’ve achieved over the years, we never stop trying to improve.

Family Engagement Services are off to a great start in South Carolina!
We are happy to announce that National Youth Advocate Program (NYAP) has chosen JusticeWorks to serve as one of their providers for Family Engagement Services in the 11 counties that make up Region 4. We are honored to be partnering with NYAP to provide this great service to families referred by DSS. Our main goal is to support families and prevent children from entering or remaining in foster care. We do this by seeking out additional family members that can support the children, identifying resources needed, and becoming creative with solutions to problems that affect our families.
We currently have a great team of four coordinators who have been gone through extensive training and supervision in order to provide services such as Family Team Meetings and Family Group Conferences.
The program started in January and we are proud to say that we have already held eight successful services to identify creative solutions to keep families together. We have a wonderful team, stay tuned to learn more about the work they are doing! read more…
