John Howard Society of York Region

Welcome

We provide a comprehensive range of programs designed to support youth and adults impacted by the justice system.

Youth Programs

Our youth-focused initiatives equip young individuals with essential life skills, empowering them to reach their full potential. We also offer guidance for families navigating the complexities of the criminal justice system, ensuring they receive the support they need.

Adult Programs

For individuals aged 18 and over, we offer both court-mandated and voluntary programs aimed at rehabilitation and reintegration. We support individuals transitioning from incarceration, helping them successfully reintegrate into their communities. We also offer a wide range of mental health and addiction support services for those affected by the justice system, including their families.

Our dedicated team remains responsive to evolving community needs and societal trends, enabling us to deliver meaningful, lasting change.

At our core, we believe in a system of accountability, correction, and growth—one that benefits both individuals and society. When justice is truly effective, it fosters safer communities, reduces societal costs, and strengthens our collective future.
