The Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) is a multi-faceted agency, led by Commissioner Shawanda Reynolds-Cobb, that serves the state’s justice-involved youth up to age 21. More than 3,400 DJJ employees work diligently to effect justice and shape the young lives in the agency’s care, so they can become contributing members of society. DJJ provides medical and mental health treatment, as well as specialized programs designed to equip the youth with the social, intellectual, and emotional tools they will need as adults. As Georgia’s 181st school district, DJJ offers youth the opportunity to earn a high school diploma from an educational system accredited by AdvancED.
