Citizens for Juvenile Justice (CJJ) is a non-profit citizens advisory committee established to aid in more effective administration of the law relating to youth. CJJ provides counsel, advice, and assistance to the Oklahoma County Juvenile Bureau (OCJB) to enhance services to at-risk youth, in part, by applying for grants to help fund projects and programs that will benefit the community and the cause of juvenile justice. The mission of the OCJB is to enhance public safety by reducing juvenile delinquency. The Oklahoma County Youth Peer Court is a diversion program designed so that first-time non-violent juvenile offenders have a jury of their peers for sentencing. The program will allow those youth to avoid criminal adjudication and reduce their contact with the criminal justice system.

The Arnall Community Funds are administered through Oklahoma City Community Foundation (OCCF) and provide grants to nonprofit organizations throughout the state of Oklahoma that are working to improve outcomes for individuals, children and families involved with animal welfare and in the child welfare and criminal justice systems. The OCCF staff will manage the grant administration process and all grantmaking decisions will be made by OCCF Trustees. Learn more about the process.
