Our Goals
We address and work to eliminate some of the greatest challenges faced by the individuals and communities we serve. Through innovative person-centered programming, interdisciplinary research, and strategic collaboration, we are committed to:
Alleviating social inequity in its own right, and as a step towards reducing the risk and repetition of criminal involvement.
Ensuring the fair and humane treatment of people who are involved in the criminal justice system.
Creating the conditions for successful reintegration.
Sustaining and growing the John Howard Society network in BC.
