Announcing Merger and Plans to Rebrand
We are pleased to announce an exciting development for the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice (CJCJ). CJCJ’s merger with the Northern California Service League (NCSL) is now complete. The union of these two venerable nonprofit agencies creates an even stronger and more vibrant organization ready to face the challenges of the future.
In conjunction with the merger, CJCJ relocated into the former-NCSL headquarters in April 2012 at 40 Boardman Place, San Francisco, CA 94103. Please update your contact information with our new telephone extensions.
