Welcome!

About us:
Justice for Athletes (JFA) serves a broad cross-section. The mission of JFA is to use participation in sports as a vehicle for teaching youngsters:

1. To problem-solve and build self-esteem.
2. To work with peers.
3. To strive for excellence.
4. To manage anger and stress.
5. To develop a sense of fair play and ethics.

JFA focuses on programs for youth nationwide. Within this broad arena, we give special emphasis to those groups or communities that are most in need. These are often communities of lower income. However, we are trying not to duplicate services already being provided to those communities through other resources.

While serving all youth, JFA gives special attention to sectors of the population known to be underserved by current sports programs: women, minorities, the physically challenged or developmentally disabled, and youth in areas where the risk of involvement in delinquency is particularly high.

JFA's funds are aimed primarily to youth who are not at elite levels of sports accomplishment.
