Together We Can

The Georgia DJJ motto, "Together We Can," highlights the power of collaboration and its vital role in helping young people rebuild their lives. By working together, we can create a workforce that empowers employees to thrive.

Together We Can

Support. Guide. Transform.

DJJ employees play a crucial role in shaping brighter futures for the young people we serve. Our motto, "Together We Can," celebrates this commitment and reminds us that lasting change for our young people occurs only when we unite as one team.

Whether it's our Commissioner, Juvenile Correctional Officer, Probation Specialist, Food Service Worker, or Teacher, every role within Georgia DJJ matters. Together, we form a network of support, guidance, and care that helps justice-involved youth discover a better path forward.

Fueling Nutritious Change

At Georgia DJJ, nutrition is essential to the development of our young people. By collaborating to provide healthy meals, we offer them the nourishment they need to grow, change, and succeed, while also demonstrating that someone cares enough to provide meals they will enjoy.

Providing a nutritious meal may seem like a small gesture, but it shows respect and can lead to meaningful connections. Trust can foster a young person's belief that transformation is possible.

Restore Faith, Rebuild Lives

Every day, the Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) Chaplains provide hope and a sense of belonging, while our Counselors offer crucial support and interventions. This partnership addresses both the emotional and spiritual needs of our youth, which are essential for their healing.

The teamwork demonstrated in sharing information among themselves to identify youth who need additional support showcases what we can achieve when we collaborate effectively and purposefully.
