Inspire For A Lifetime

Welcome to the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) Volunteer Program. DJJ is grateful for its many volunteers who play a vital role in improving the lives of justice-involved youth in our facilities and communities. The Volunteer Services Program is responsible for recruiting and screening potential volunteers and providing their orientation and training. Volunteers with DJJ serve in various capacities across all Regional Youth Detention Centers (RYDCs), Youth Detention Centers (YDCs), and Community Services Offices (CSOs) throughout Georgia.

Volunteer Program Vision and Mission

The DJJ Volunteer Services Program's Mission is to recruit, retain, and promote volunteers dedicated to providing various DJJ youth services. The volunteers will help motivate and empower our youth to become productive, law-abiding community citizens.

The Department's Volunteer Services Philosophy is to develop and increase volunteer opportunities that enrich our young offenders. The program is established to encourage a lifetime of volunteer commitment to service.
