The Association of Justices of the Peace Belize Florida Chapter: Serving, Supporting, and Strengthening Our Community.

The Association of Justices of the Peace Belize Florida Chapter (BJP-FL) is more than an organization; it’s a movement dedicated to uniting Belizean Justices of the Peace in Florida and empowering them to serve with purpose and integrity. Founded with the approval of Belize’s Attorney General Ministry, BJP-FL is committed to upholding justice, advocating for the Belizean diaspora, and fostering a deep connection between Belize and Florida. Our mission is simple yet profound: to provide accessible legal guidance, community resources, and support that reflect Belize’s core values of unity, respect, and service.

A Vision for Community Service and Advocacy

BJP-FL stands as a beacon for Belizeans abroad, particularly for the large Belizean community in Florida. Through our chapter, we aim to bring together Justices of the Peace who are dedicated to giving back to their communities both in the United States and in Belize. We focus on initiatives that offer practical legal assistance, promote civic engagement, and encourage ongoing support for Belizean citizens worldwide. Whether through organized events, educational sessions, or one-on-one guidance, we are committed to providing a supportive network that promotes justice and helps bridge the gap between Belize and its diaspora.

Empowering Members Through Training and Outreach

Our chapter emphasizes the importance of continued education and community outreach. We believe that empowered members are effective advocates, and we offer regular training and workshops to keep our members updated on best practices in legal and community service. Our programs are designed to build the skills and confidence that Justices of the Peace need to make a meaningful impact. By connecting members across Florida and encouraging collaborative service, BJP-FL strengthens the Belizean community and promotes a sense of unity across state lines.
