Be joined together in perfect unity—with one heart, one passion, and united in one love. Walk together with one harmonious purpose and you will fill my heart with unbounded joy. Philippians 2:2

Our Team

The JJC Staff is dedicated to serving the residents at the Sacramento County Youth Detention Facility. We understand the privilege of being able to love and support the youth right where they are. We get to meet beautiful, amazing, talented, gifted, smart teens with so much potential. However, many are also hurting, angry and troubled from life’s circumstances.

Our team has a passion to speak truth, value and purpose into the lives of the residents in hopes they will see themselves just as we do. Even on a challenging day or after hearing heartbreaking news, we know we are right where we are supposed to be. We all love what we do because it’s not just a job, but a mission.
