Families and Children
With a mission to strengthen families, it is no surprise that the focus of most Jordan Institute projects is on families and children. These projects are wide in scope and diverse in approach. Projects focus on such issues as child welfare, juvenile delinquency, youth violence, welfare reform, school success, and substance abuse. These projects have been and continue to be instrumental in shaping policy and practice in North Carolina, throughout the nation, and abroad.
