The Power of One Awards
The Power of One award recognizes what one person with one idea or action has done to improve services for women and girls in the criminal justice system. The mission and vision of AJFO is embodied in the exceptional work and dedication of these individuals. It was with this in mind, that the Power of One Award was created, to recognize their outstanding efforts as champions and advocates for this important work.
