Florida Juvenile Justice Foundation, Inc.

The Foundation serves to change lives — the lives of students, the lives of their parents, the lives of the citizens in our community — by promoting delinquency prevention, intervention and educational opportunities for youth.

A board of community leaders makes up the Foundation's board of directors. Collectively, the Board creates policies, provides direction, raises funds, and stewards all funds raised to enhance the activities of the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Florida Juvenile Justice Foundation is to solicit and steward private gifts to promote education and public safety through effective prevention, intervention and treatment services that strengthen families and positively change the lives of troubled youth.

Birth Certificates

As of February of 2010, the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) is authorized to request a certified copy of a DJJ-involved youth's birth certificate if unavailable from other sources as a result of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Department of Health.

Completion of the top half of the application is required by the youth, with either the Chief Probation Officer, FJJF Foundation or DJJ Education Director completing the second half as requestor. The Birth Certificate will be mailed back to the requesting party for provision to the youth. A $9 fee is required. The Youth Investment Award application may be used to request the $9 per application for each individual applicant.

Questions may also be directed to Ms. Cindy Jones at (850) 487-8989 or Cindy.Jones@djj.state.fl.us
