Virgin Islands Justice Initiative Inc. is a non-profit, tax-exempt corporate entity registered in the U.S. Virgin Islands with a current SAM.gov registration valid through March 13, 2026. The organization focuses on community-driven legal intervention and crime prevention programs, primarily targeting youth and individuals with previous criminal system contact.

Through federal grant sub-awards from the Law Enforcement Planning Commission, Virgin Islands Justice Initiative Inc. has developed specialized intervention and reentry programs designed to address criminal justice challenges. Their primary services include a community-driven intervention program providing free legal education to youth to prevent violent and non-violent crimes, and a pioneering "Clean Slate" reentry initiative that assists individuals with previous criminal system contact by eliminating barriers to housing, employment, and education. These grant-funded programs aim to create systemic support for youth and returning citizens, focusing on prevention, education, and community-based rehabilitation. The organization has received multiple sub-awards in late 2024, indicating ongoing support for their innovative approach to community legal services and crime prevention strategies.
