Mission: The National Committee to Combat Juvenile Delinquency is a progressive Chicago based organization concerned about the unprecedented explosion of jails and prisons in America. NCCJD was organized in 1998 as a Illinois nonprofit corporation exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. NCCJD was established as an alternative to incarceration for delinquent youth (not requiring incarceration) aged 13 to 17.
Our model of intervention with youth consist of individual and family counseling in a nonpunitive setting supplemented by comprehensive programs developed to effectively address the specific needs of delinquent offenders and at-risk youth.
A nontraditional approach is necessary to deal with resistance among at-risk and delinquent youth to combat gang affiliation, substance abuse and to motivate truants to attend school. The National Committee to Combat Juvenile Delinquency consists of a committed group of concerned professionals,some of whom have seen both sides of the juvenile justice system, a valuable resource for working with troubled youth.
Programs: The National Committee to Combat Juvenile Delinquency has developed a comprehensive delinquency program called Juvenile Educationand Employment Project (JEEP). The project targets high-risk and delinquent youth and is designed to prevent crime, drug abuse and other forms of delinquency. The project incorporates the three primary components of balanced and restorative justice-accountability, competency development, and community safety. The treatment plan includes social intervention strategies that enable juvenile offenders to make amends to their victims and the community, increase youth competency, and become productive members of their community.
