Attention Teachers: JIFF is now open to community referrals! If you’re a teacher who has students who are considered “problem children,†please refer them to us. These kids aren’t bad. They just need additional support and mentorship. No teacher wants to see their students go to jail! Please help us keep our kids out of the prison system. #JIFF #JIFFYouth
