History of J4BG Family Services

In 2006, J4BG originally started under the vision "J4BG Academy". During that time a community-based group was developed, providing a guidance counseling curriculum for at-risk youth in the downtown area of Dubuque. That outreach was provided every Monday night and continued for 6 years.  

In 2014, a building was purchased in the downtown area where free counseling services were provided along with continued community outreach. The organization was renamed J4BG Family Services, where holistic, and empowerment directed objectives were offered to at-risk families in Dubuque.  

Some of the projects that have supported under the umbrella of J4BG Family include: the Beautification Project, the March Against Violence, Family Nights, and Fatherhood Training.  

J4BG Family is a business structure, providing counseling services for kids, parents, adults, and couples.  J4BG Family functions a portion of its business like a non-profit, helping over 15% needy families on a pro-bono or reduced fee status.
