The Justice Jar Campaign
The Justice Jar Campaign
8 Seniors. 8 Months. 4 Causes. 100% for Change.
The Justice Jar is an eight‑month, senior‑year campaign led by eight passionate high school students dedicated to making a lasting impact before graduation. Through decorated donation jars placed in businesses throughout the Cleveland suburbs, we collect contributions to support nonprofits that champion equality & justice. Every two months, we spotlight a different cause—such as education equity, global humanitarian support, or women’s health—chosen by our directors. 100% of all funds raised goes directly to trusted nonprofits. Our goal is to inspire our community, lead with compassion, and demonstrate that small acts of generosity can create big change. Together, we’re leaving a legacy of justice—one jar at a time.
We’re proud to share that our first Justice Jar cause, Education Equity for NewBridge Cleveland, raised at least $1K to support educational access and opportunity in our community.

Cause 1
“We started The Justice Jar because we wanted to create a simple way for people in our community to make a difference. Together, we realized that even small donations, collected in visible jars, could support local causes and raise awareness about issues we care about. Our goal is to inspire others to take action, show that giving back can be easy, and make a positive impact in our community.
Thank you for helping us turn small acts of kindness into lasting change. Together, we can make justice something everyone contributes to.”
