Mission: Gen Justice works to mend the child protection system and bring a permanent end to violence against children.

Target demographics: America’s abandoned and abused children in foster care.

Direct beneficiaries per year: Gen Justice has worked with local leaders, national partners, and the White House to advance reforms that impact hundreds of thousands of children annually. These nonpartisan measures are expediting the search for family, shortening the time to adoption, and improving legal representation for abandoned and abused children.

Geographic areas served: Gen Justice is headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, and works with local and national partners to share its work nationwide.

Programs: Gen Justice works on a micro, macro and super-macro level, weaving together a new fabric of protection for America’s abandoned and abused children in desperate need of a lifeline. Our micro work offers emergency legal help to individual children and families through our pro bono Children’s Law Clinic headquartered in Arizona. Our macro work improves the laws governing the treatment of abandoned, abused, and trafficked children. Our super-macro work enforces constitutional rights on behalf of victimized children through public interest legal work.
