Family Justice, a national nonprofit organization, draws on the strengths of families and neighborhoods to break cycles of involvement with the criminal justice system. To this end, Family Justice works with families, government agencies, the private sector, and community partners, offering training and technical assistance on its methods and serving as a resource for public policy makers and criminal justice professionals. We teach government and community-based organizations to tap the strengths of families and social networks by applying our innovative, cost-effective approach, The Bodega Model®.
