George Junior Republic in Pennsylvania (GJR in PA), founded in 1909, offers a continuum of residential programs and services for at-risk youth ages 8-18 and adults ages 18 and older.

The program is designed to motivate children and staff to adhere to routines, structures, and processes while minimizing the potential for interpersonal conflict.
