Goal Achievement

The Purpose of the Foundation

The Purpose of the Foundation

SJIB was established in 2004 to provide Probation & Parole and Family Guardianship services across the Windward Islands. Operating from St. Maarten, the foundation supported individuals and families through guidance, supervision, and community-focused services.

 

The Purpose of the Foundation
Expanding Our Services

As community needs grew, J&IS expanded its reach by establishing the Foster Families Central in 2009 and opening the Youth Residential Home in 2022. New programs and initiatives further strengthened its role within the justice system.

Expanding Our Services
A New Chapter

In June 2024, SJIB became Judicial & Institutional Services (J&IS). The rebranding introduced reforms aimed at strengthening probation and family guardianship services while promoting rehabilitation, child wellbeing, public safety, and community restoration.

A New Chapter
