About JRC

JRC is a residential treatment facility that works with males 12-18 years old. Juveniles are placed at JRC via their respective Juvenile Courts, and ordered to successfully complete a treatment program in lieu of a commitment to the Department of Youth Services. 

JRC works with youth and their families to make positive change, that will result in improved functioning in their home communities. In collaboration with the family, Juvenile Court, and community service providers, the facility individualized each youth’s treatment, with a goal of enhancing their pro-social development. 

 The Juvenile Residential Center of Northwest Ohio is an ACA accredited facility. The American Correctional Association was founded in 1870 to promote improvement in the management of all correctional agencies through the administration of an accreditation program with the ongoing development and revision of relevant, useful standards designed to improve conditions of confinement. The standards serve as the foundation for the accreditation process. 

The facility was initially accredited in 2007, with 100% compliance in all standards of operation for a juvenile community residential facility. The facility has been re-accredited every three years since then, most recently in August of 2023. This demonstrates the dedication and professionalism of the facility and its staff to help fulfill the facilities overall purpose and mission.
