JusticeWorks YouthCare, Inc.

In 1999, Dan Heit started JusticeWorks YouthCare (JWYC) with an idea to address the missing link in the juvenile justice system by providing a proactive continuing care program.

He wanted JusticeWorks to combine the heart and the head in its approach:  embody a ‘whatever it takes’ passion to be diligent, creative and tireless in serving children and families,  and to be an outcomes driven organization which would save money for the public sector.

Starting with one small contract with Lehigh County Juvenile Probation, JusticeWorks early on distinguished itself as a hardworking organization which could demonstrate positive outcomes.

Over the years, we have grown to provide services to children, youth and families in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems, as well as becoming an educational provider.

Our services have been designated as Promising Practices by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, giving counties who use us higher reimbursement rates.

We now provide services to more than 40 Pennsylvania counties and are continuing to grow there and in several other states.
