Mar 19, 2025
The Queens Community Justice Center offers supportive services and opportunities for civic engagement for people of all ages in Jamaica and the Rockaways, inside and outside the justice system.
The Queens Community Justice Center (formerly the Queens Youth Justice Center) works with people both in and outside the justice system, providing a range of supportive services and opportunities for civic engagement for people of all ages. For justice-involved clients, the Justice Center’s holistic approach seeks to prevent the negative consequences that often accompany contact with the criminal legal system while addressing clients’ needs in order to prevent future system involvement. The Justice Center also provides young people with leadership training, internships, and opportunities to make a positive contribution to the Queens community.
With a focus on cultivating healing and resilience, the Community Justice Center works to create safe and strong neighborhoods with new responses to crime, community-led public design, violence prevention, economic development, and youth opportunity.
