The Juvenile Justice Work Group is comprised of regional and national grantmakers working across fields of justice, education, foster care and mental health. Members of this work group are committed to funding systems and programs that serve justice-involved youth, seizing opportunities to reduce harm, address fairness, promote public safety and save taxpayers dollars. Increasingly, philanthropic institutions are coming to recognize that justice-involved youth are the same youth that they are concerned about serving through other public systems.
YTFG does not maintain an office, but rather acts as a network of funders who convene on a periodic basis. Lisa McGill serves as the director. The YTFG is governed by a steering committee of leaders in the philanthropic sector.

The foundations that make up the Youth Transition Funders Group are working - each in their own way - to ameliorate the conditions that help derail young people from successful life trajectories, support those who are out of school and out of work, and provide such young people opportunities to regain a foothold in mainstream society.
