Cook County Southland Juvenile Justice Council

Cook County Southland Juvenile Justice Council The Ultimate Goal of the Cook County Southland Juvenile Justice Council is to reduce the number of juvenile cases in Markham Juvenile Court.

The Cook County Southland Juvenile Justice Council (SJJC) provides local government with the vision, guidance and support they need to collectively address the violence and juvenile delinquency problem from a local perspective, and comply with the Illinois Juvenile Court Act of 1987.

🎄✨ WGGT Market Day Moments! ✨🎄

What an amazing day of creativity, confidence, and community! Our young entrepreneurs showed up and showed out—selling handmade items, connecting with customers, and shining in their talents.

Thank you to every vendor, family member, and supporter who came out to uplift and invest in our girls. When girls get together, magic truly happens. 💛

We can’t wait to do it again! 🛍️✨

Veterans out in the fields, doing the work.  They’ve been putting community at the heart of their decision-making.
