The Justice & Dignity Center leads with a whole-person approach that blends academics with real-life skills.
Programs include mental health initiatives that teach coping tools and resilience, financial education for budgeting and saving, and relationship lessons that build healthy communication and boundaries.
JDC also guides youth in becoming positive community members through service and civic engagement. To prepare teens for the workforce, we offers job-training pathways—resume building, workplace skills, internships, and entry-level certifications.

Our boxing and fitness program builds confidence, discipline, and respect while helping youth stay active, focused, and off the streets.

We equip community members with life-saving CPR skills through certified hands-on training sessions, empowering everyone to respond in an emergency.

Our vocational and technical training programs prepare individuals for real-world careers in trades and skilled labor, promoting financial independence and opportunity.

Each year, we provide school supplies, backpacks, and support to help students start the school year ready and confident.

We bring cutting-edge VR technology to classrooms, giving students immersive learning experiences that make education exciting and future-focused.

Our Man Up initiative mentors young men through leadership, accountability, and personal development — inspiring strength, purpose, and positive community involvement.

The Justice & Dignity Center is planning to expand our educational programs in 2026 in a big way. Our goal is to make JDC a place where everyone can learn, grow, and thrive—regardless of background or age. To make this vision a reality, we need your support. Together, we can build a stronger, more educated community. 💜
