Juvenile Probation Services Grant

The Juvenile Act, the enabling legislation of the Juvenile Court Judges’ Commission (JCJC), provides the JCJC shall have the power, and its duty shall be, to make annual grants to political subdivisions for the development and improvement of probation services for juveniles. Through the Juvenile Probation Services Grant (JPSG) program, funded by annual legislative appropriations, the JCJC offers direct financial support to all 67 juvenile probation departments in the Commonwealth by offsetting the salary costs of juvenile probation staff and offering impact grants designed to advance juvenile probation services statewide. Funding eligibility is based on each juvenile probation department’s compliance with mandatory Juvenile Court Standards and Conditions developed by the JCJC.
