Program Summary
Case management and diversion services focusing on three core components: diverting juvenile offenders from the Department of Juvenile Services (DJS), redirecting Children In Need of Supervision (CINS) youth away from DJS to community-based services, and developing community-based mentoring services as a diversion from detention, commitment or re-offense.
Target Population
Washington County youth who are: 1) first time non-violent offenders, first-time violent (specifically 2nd degree assault) offenders, as well as certain second-time misdemeanor offenders, 2) pre-adjudication CINS youth (defined as youth who exhibit at-risk behaviors that do not constitute a delinquent act such as: truancy, run-away, ungovernable, incorrigible, and/or disobedient and for whom a parent has filed a Application of Child in Need of Supervision Petition). These youth have not been formally adjudicated by the court system. Mentoring services are targeted to participants of the first-time diversion component and the CINS component of the program as well as those youth currently involved with DJS as a diversion for detention, commitment or diversion from re-offense.
