Jane Addams Juvenile Court FoundationThe Jane Addams Juvenile Court Foundation was created to refocus public attention on the Cook County Juvenile Court, one of Cook County's pioneering institutions, and to stimulate public concern and investment in effective systems that address the needs of youth, particularly those accused of delinquent offenses and their families, and communities. The core model of the JAJCF suggests that a small, proactive private foundation working closely with the Court, its leadership and stakeholders, is in a uniquely effective position to serve as a catalyst for change.
