The vision of the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges is that every child and young person be reared in a safe, permanent, and nurturing family, where love, self-control, concern for others, and responsibility for the consequences of one's actions are experienced and taught as fundamental values for a successful life. The NCJFCJ seeks a society in which every child and every family in need of judicial oversight has access to fair, effective, and timely justice.
