See How You Can Get Involved in Your Community

According to Jerrauld Jones, the former director of the Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice, the juvenile justice system is straining to meet the needs of the children entrusted to its care. But, with your help, just as little as three to four hours a month with a child can make the difference.

Friends of the Portsmouth Juvenile Court (FRIENDS) is dedicated to Portsmouth’s at-risk youth. We can not do the work alone, your help is needed. Whether you support FRIENDS through volunteer service or other resources, your contribution has the power to transform lives.
