Juvenile Welfare Board
History |
JWB
(Juvenile Welfare Board of Pinellas County) is located in Pinellas
County, Florida. The county has a population of more than 900,000
people living in 24 cities and unincorporated areas.
Established in 1946, JWB is the nation’s
first county-wide agency utilizing dedicated property tax revenue to
better the lives of children and families. One of the largest
funding sources for human services in the county, JWB does not provide
direct services to children and families, but funds non-profit,
government, and grassroots community groups to do so.
Additionally, JWB has in place a web-based
data collection technology and agency certification program to determine
program success, now used by other Florida Children’s Services Councils.
Our Mission:
The Juvenile Welfare Board
supports the healthy development of all children and their families in
Pinellas County through advocacy, research, planning, training,
communications, coordinating of resources and funding.
