The Ogle County Juvenile Justice Council

 

Purpose of Council:
 

The Ogle County Juvenile Justice Council is a group of concerned individuals, county officials and representatives of community-based agencies that deal with issues concerning juvenile delinquency in Ogle County. 

The purpose of the Ogle County Juvenile Justice Council is to promote cooperation and coordination between Ogle County Juvenile Court and those agencies and/or departments that work with delinquent youth and to develop a plan for the prevention of juvenile delinquency.

 THANK YOU!

 The Ogle County Juvenile Justice Council is a proud recipient of a generous grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. The grant was awarded to the Council in 2006 as part of the Foundation’s “Models for Change” initiative that supports promising models of juvenile justice reform. In Illinois, four “pilot” sites were funded by the Foundation’s “Models for Change” initiative: Ogle County, DuPage County, Cook County, and the 12 counties of the 2nd Judicial Circuit. 

The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, headquartered in Chicago, is a private, independent grant making institution dedicated to helping groups and individuals foster lasting improvement in the human condition. With assets of more than $5.5 billion, the Foundation makes grants and low-interest loans totaling approximately $225 million each year.
