Since 2010 J&J has had vast experiences, connectivity, and a solid reputation in all 8 wards of the District. Through both tribulations and triumphs, J&J has had positive impact on hundreds of lives through pro-social activities, mediations, violence prevention, and just by being a steady consistent strong presence in the communities. Forty plus youth committed to the Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services reaped the benefits of J&J aggressive mentoring from 2013 – 2018. In addition to aggressive mentoring, J&J implemented an evidenced base model – Seven Challenges – specifically designed to address the substance abuse/ dependence of young adults through group and individual sessions.
