Mission Statement
The Friends of the Children’s Justice Center of Maui (FCJC) is a private, non-profit corporation, founded in 1989 by a non-partisan group of community and business leaders concerned with the social welfare of children and families who have been traumatized by abuse and severe neglect.
About This Cause
The Mission of the FCJC has three parts…. To provide assistance to abused and neglected children in Maui County. We do this by receiving requests from over 25 social services agencies and other professions for services or items that will help with the healing of the child. These services could be for education or tutoring, counseling, medical, transportation, social activities, sports activities, after-school programs, self-esteem issues, school needs and everything in between. To promote prevention of child abuse and neglect. We accomplish this task by creating and distributing a 20-page supplement in the Maui News about child abuse and neglect prevention; by producing and distributing DVD’s on “Mandated Reporting” and “Shaken Baby Syndrome”; by participating in several community-wide forums such as “Keiki Fest”; by distributing two newsletters annually; and by participating in the 2009 PREVENT Institute, the Ho’oikaika Partners prevention committee, and the Hanai Coalition for foster children. To support the Children’s Justice Center of Maui. The CJC is part of the State Judiciary, and is the safe and nurturing facility where suspected victims of child sexual abuse and extreme physical abuse are brought for an interview and possible forensic examination. We provide funds for training of the police and social workers who are involved in those interviews; food for the children being interviewed; snacks for the meeting participants; stuffed toys for the children; and support supplies for the office. This past year, the FCJC served: • 915 children with funding for direct services • Over 2,200 children with Christmas gifts • Over 25,000 households with our annual 20-page prevention newspaper supplement • Launched our “Journey to New Beginnings” program targeting high risk teens who have been abused • 8,000 children and parents reached through community events And we do all of this with one paid staff person, a working board of directors and many dedicated volunteers. We receive no Federal, State, or County funding. Our funding comes from the Bradley and Victoria Geist Foundation, the Teresa Hughes Trust, the Hyundai Championship Golf Tournament, and passionate companies and individuals through several fundraisers during the year. We invite you to learn more about us and to help us through a tax deductible donation. 1773-A Wili Pa Loop, Wailuku, HI 96793 Phone: 986-8634 Fax: 244-2943 Website: www.mauicjc.org
