JJDPC Mission
It is the mission of the San Mateo County Juvenile Justice & Delinquency Prevention Commission to be a public conscience in the best interest of young people. The Commission advocates for programs and services that prevent youth entry into the juvenile justice system, and that provide tools young people need to thrive and succeed in life. The Commission seeks to promote respect for the human dignity of all young people who do enter the juvenile justice system and seeks to preserve their youth.
The Juvenile Justice & Delinquency Prevention Commission meets on the last Tuesday of every month from 5:15 - 7:15 pm. at Manzanita Hall, 500 County Center, 1st Floor, Redwood City, CA 94063
Please Note: The entrance to Manzanita Hall is located outside of the County Center building on Marshall Street. Parking is available on Middlefield Road.
