This year marks the 30th Anniversary of the Friends of the Portsmouth Juvenile Court, Inc. Over these three decades, our organization has been a beacon of hope for young people and their families. We have been committed to supporting and rehabilitating juveniles, fostering positive transformation, and ensuring a brighter future for all. We invite you to learn more about our history and journey here.

On this landmark anniversary, we are hosting a gala event, "Dinner with Friends," and we need your help to make it a memorable celebration. This inspirational dinner event will cater to 250 people, where individuals, community leaders, philanthropists, and partners will converge to honor, celebrate, and support our cause. We are aiming to raise $30,000 to fund our ongoing programs and initiatives.

For an impactful 30 years, the Friends of the Portsmouth Juvenile Court (FOPJC) has been an unwavering beacon for at-risk youth and their families. We have offered essential aid like our CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) initiative, tirelessly supporting them through the intricacies of the juvenile justice and child welfare systems.
