OUR MISSION
OJN offers placement services and direct client services for youth aged 13 to 25 with a history of illegal gun involvement in Lane, Marion, Multnomah, and Umatilla counties.
OJNs Reentry Services, led by credible messengers with lived experiences with the juvenile and adult criminal legal systems, including incarceration, provides specialized, wraparound support for individuals aged 13 to 25 who are at significant risk of being affected by gun violence. By offering a range of services focused on mental health, community engagement, job training, education, social-emotional learning, and identity development, we seek to reduce gun violence and empower participants to successfully reintegrate into society and lead positive, fulfilling lives.
We have been there. That is why we are here.
