The John Howard Society of Niagara is a non-profit organization committed to providing and developing programs that reduce the social, economic and personal cost of crime. The Society is dedicated to helping all people who have been in conflict with the law or who face imminent risk of coming into conflict with the law through service, education and community programs.

The organization is governed by a volunteer board of directors whose mission statement is the effective, just and humane responses to crime and its causes. Today, the JHSoN offers programs and services in the fields of Corrections and Employment in six sites across the Niagara Region, with a staff of 60 employees.  Our sites are located in Fort Erie, Niagara Falls, Welland and St. Catharines.

Funding is received from the Ministry of Community Safety and Corrections, the Ministry of the Attorney General, the Department of Justice, Service Canada, the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, the United Way, and through our own fund raising.
