IEA - Inspire, Encourage, Achieve, provides a multi-disciplinary response to crime and delinquency for juvenile justice-involved youth who are under the supervision of the Jefferson County Juvenile Probation Department and are either in detention at the Minnie Rogers Juvenile Justice Center (MRJJC) or on probation.  

​

We provide a myriad of services to address individual and family challenges allowing every child the opportunity to experience love and compassion, overcome barriers, and develop coping skills to move beyond life’s traumas.  Through services provided by our staff and community partners, we hope each child will remain in school, reduce repetitive criminal behaviors, and become a productive citizen.
