“We are so excited to welcome JusticeWorks to our Omni family,” said Omni Family of Services CEO, Jane Wintz. “Founder, Dan Heit, and the entire team at JusticeWorks have dedicated their lives to building better futures for youth, families and communities. I’ve long admired their work and the programs they’ve built to support children and families. They complement and go hand-in-hand with the work we do at Omni.”

Founded in 1999 by renowned behavioral health leader Dan Heit, JusticeWorks partners with public and private agencies to provide impactful and cost-effective services across six states including Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Nevada, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. The organization employs over 600 employees, who will become employee-owners as a result of the acquisition. Heit notes that the acquisition is both mission-aligned and a win for JusticeWorks employees.
“Our mission has always been to build better futures for children and families,” said Heit. “We know that Omni Family of Services shares that same passion and mission. When we started talking about what it could look like for us to join forces, we quickly realized that we could really accelerate the change we want to see in the world by doing this work together.”
Heit continued: “We’re already a team of changemakers—and so is Omni. Now, as a member of the Omni and 3LS Inc. family of employee-owned companies, our team members will benefit from the value that their exceptional work helps create. The future is going to be very exciting.”

“We are thrilled to welcome the JusticeWorks team, not just into the Omni family, but into our 3LS family of employee-owned companies,” said Strickland. “We’re essentially doubling the amount of people participating in our employee ownership plan and most importantly, we’re doubling the number of kids and families we’re serving. It’s a win across the board.”
