Who We Are and What We Do
The Friends of the Salt Lake County Children’s Justice Center’s mission is to empower child victims and their families to transform trauma into resilience. We do this by supporting the Salt Lake County Children’s Justice Center through program support funds and awareness.
Through our fundraising efforts, the Friends of the Salt Lake County Children's Justice Center fund critical staff positions to deliver crisis services and specialized forensic interviewing, client emergency funds, furnishings and toys, contracted language translation services, specialized training for staff, necessary equipment and supplies, and other enhancement services.
These funds directly benefit the children and families served through the Salt Lake County Children's Justice Center by ensuring they are able to safely tell their story, seek justice, and find hope and healing through comprehensive wraparound services. Additionally, we support Camp Hope, a program designed to help children from abusive and traumatic situations learn resiliency, gain hope, and break the cycle of abuse.
